At KERN-LIEBERS Textile, we consider tumbling technology to be one of our core skills. That's why we have many options for the vibratory finishing of knitting machine parts at our disposal – the right system for every part geometry, and the right medium for every requirement.
Delicate yarns such as multifilament yarns require perfect rounding in the jack area to protect against capillary breaks. Properties that can only be achieved with our G-rounding process.
Critical components for knitting machines with stamped springs or other bending stresses are always at risk of breaking. The innovative combination of different vibratory finishing techniques prevents the concentration of critical stresses at areas with a high bending stress.
