Knitwear producer with Stoll ADF machine
In recent 2 years our company invested in 3 modern ADF machines from Stoll (by Karl Mayer). This new generation of knitting machines has a very advanced and interesting solution that allows to develop and produce very unique designs and technical fabrics as well. In this post I would like to show you the technical possibilities of Stoll ADF knitting machines and present you its influence on knitwear patterns
Stoll ADF machines – what is it exactly?
ADF means “Autarkic Direct Feed”, and it gives you a new level of freedom in design and production. The yarn carriers are independent of the carriage and can move on both horizontal and vertical direction. Thanks to this innovative yarn carrier technology that ADF machine creates – almost endless possibilities for pattern and color combinations can be obtained.
Yarn carriers in ADF machine can move freely, both horizontally and vertically, because they are powered by two motors that work completely independently of each other. This technology gives knitting an entirely new dimension. First and foremost, plating techniques have been significantly advanced. Numerous options for Inverse Plating make it possible to choose from an almost unlimited spectrum of color combinations. For Intarsia Plating and Selective Plating, color composition can vary between single and multiple areas. With the new Stoll-ikat plating® Inverse Plating is knitted in one system: two more yarns knit together in an area and change their positions in the same system. Applying the new Stoll-weave-in® technique floats can be interlaced into knits in a weft direction. The outcome is knitted fabric connected with weaving technique. It is still created by loops, but thanks to weave in yarn thread it also have a properties of weaving fabric.
What is the greatest in Stoll ADF machine generation is that all techniques can be combined with each other.
