With a speed of 4,400 rpm, the HKS 2-SE is the fastest warp knitting machine in the world. Thanks to its functional differentiation, the short-stroke machine series with two guide bar beds is also the number one choice when it comes to greater fabric diversity and thus gaining more or new business.
The HKS 2-SE PLUS produces new twill stitch fabrics with a high modulus that are setting trends in swimwear, sportswear and lingerie. The HKS 2-SE an all-rounder for elastic and non-elastic fabrics produces dense articles with an exceptionally high UV protection factor using the extended gauge E 44. These articles are in high demand among manufacturers of comfortable sun protection clothing.
KARL MAYER has set itself the challenge of surpassing its own successful line and, just in time for ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025, has developed the HKS 2-SE TWO, a machine with a significant performance boost. With a working width of 2 x 130″ and a significantly higher speed than comparable machines on the market, this two-in-one model offers unique productivity.

In addition, it requires less floor space and energy than two individual machines. Energy efficiency is further enhanced by the fact that each machine has only one main and one beam drive and uses a drive solution for feeding the yarn to the GB 2 that does not require belts. The new unit is more efficient and also requires less maintenance.
Customers also benefit from handling advantages during machine operation. Instead of one continuous fabric panel, the HKS 2-SE TWO produces two separate panels that are easier to change and require adjustment only on one machine instead of two. The quality of the panels produced is absolutely identical and remains unrivalled.
