The 186-inch warp knitted towel machine of Karl Mayer, model **TM 4 TS EL**, is an innovative model specially designed for the efficient production of towel fabrics. It combines wide production capacity and intelligent technology, significantly enhancing production flexibility and efficiency. The following are its core features and technical analysis:
---
### ⚙️ I. Core parameters and design highlights
1. Wide-width and high-efficiency production
The working width is 186 inches (approximately 4.72 meters). Compared with the old 136-inch model, the production capacity has increased by 36%, making it suitable for large-scale production of towels, bath towels and other products.
By widening the weaving width, the loss of fabric splicing is reduced and the utilization rate of raw materials is optimized.
2. Electronic Lateral Shift System (EL Technology
The electronic horizontal movement system is adopted to replace the traditional mechanical flower tray, achieving stepless adjustment and rapid switching of the flower pattern.
- ** 30% speed increase ** : When producing towels with edges, the speed is significantly improved compared to the old KS 4 FBZ model.
Support high-precision weaving of complex patterns (such as large loop patterns and smooth edges) to enhance the added value of products.

### ⚡ 2. Technological innovation and performance advantage
"Intelligent production control
- ** Quick pattern Switching ** : The EL system adjusts parameters through a digital interface, allowing for pattern changes without the need to replace physical flower trays, reducing downtime and meeting the demands of small-batch and multi-variety orders.
- ** Operational friendliness ** : The touchscreen control interface simplifies the process and reduces reliance on skilled workers.
2. Yarn adaptability
Specifically optimized for cotton yarn, it can handle various short-fiber yarns to ensure the core qualities of towel products such as water absorption and softness.
Compatible with high grammage yarns, it meets the production requirements of towels of different thicknesses, such as thick fleece bath towels and thin face towels.

3. Practical application and customer value
- ** Typical products ** : Loop towels, cut-pile bath towels, decorative edge towels, etc.
- ** Case Comparison ** :
- ** A certain enterprise in Haining, Zhejiang Province ** After introducing TM 4 TS EL, under the same energy consumption, the annual output increased by more than 30%, and due to the improved efficiency of pattern switching, the flexibility of order taking was enhanced.
- ** Cost savings ** : Reduce the maintenance cost and inventory of mechanical flower trays, and lower the long-term operation and maintenance cost by approximately 15%.
---
### IV. Industry positioning and supporting
- ** Market Positioning ** : Targeting mid-to-high-end towel manufacturers, especially suitable for export-oriented enterprises, meeting the requirements of the European and American markets for complex patterns and environmental protection certifications (such as OEKO-TEX).
- ** Digital Integration ** : Optional KM.ON system (such as **DPM production management software **) is available to monitor energy consumption and efficiency in real time and optimize production scheduling plans.
- ** Service Support ** :
Karl Mayer China (Changzhou) provides technical training and spare parts supply (such as the Service4You platform).
- Regular product shows to demonstrate hands-on operation (such as the "Karl Mayer Product Show" in Changzhou in October 2024).
