It is not by accident that the Mayer & Cie. circular knitting machine bearing serial number 60,000 is a Relanit - given that the relative movement technology behind the Relanit label – presented for the first time 20 years ago at the ITMA in Paris – has developed over the past two decades to become the most successful single jersey production method of all times.
Benefits such as minimized stress on the yarn, substantially reduced yarn breakage and fewer faults in the fabric, as well as maximum productivity and quality, today form the accepted standard for profitable, high-quality single jersey production. To date, over 5,500 Relanit machines have been sold around the world.
The jubilee machine delivered to SLEEK KNITWEARS is a Relanit 1.6 R. This is a machine which makes for the ideal combination of single jersey and structures with stripes, as relative movement technology affords free visual and physical access to the needle bed.
The machine comes with 5-colour striping, or optionally 10-colour striping using 2 feeders. SLEEK KNITWEARS was among many customers to order the Relanit 1.6 R with 5/10-colour striping attachment.
SLEEK KNITWEARS is run by two brothers, Messrs. Sandeep Gupta SLEEK and Anil Gupta SLEEK, who look back on 20 years in the industry. The company is well positioned in India and enjoys a reputation for quality, efficiency and reliability. Production output currently averages 13 tons per day. The company’s medium-term planning is based on an increase to 20 tons per day and 6,000 parts per day. SLEEK KNITWEARS supplies to both the Indian market and also a number of export markets including predominantly the USA and Canada.
