BONAS

After the successful introduction of the Si with many hundreds of references, Bonas introduced during ITMA Asia the Ji range. Ji is available in formats from 1,920 hooks till 5,760 hooks and is the most compact machine on the market.

A 4800 hooks weaving furniture fabric installed on a double width loom. This machine has a dwell build-in allowing a longer insertion time and a smaller shed. Most wide looms require these possibilities as it gives less weft stops and a higher quality fabric. The second Ji is equipped with 2,688 hooks and is producing terry towels. Here we emphasise on the high performance, in a dusty cotton environment. Bonas shows hereby his leadership in the terry field.

The third Ji will produce high-quality labels with 2,304 hooks, this showing a wide spread of applications for this range. Due to the small dimensions, Ji is very suitable for label weaving and direct mounting Ji is designed in Europe with the focus on the Chinese market where higher productivity requirements are requested to create a high added value. Ji is maintenance-free and equipped with the latest filter technology.
