Bismarck reminded that with the Pilotelli brand they have just launched an updated version of their sinkerless single jersey machine. This model gives great advantage to customers in terms of extending maintenance periods drastically and; is developed to avoid several fabric defects (e.g. vertical lines or fabric peeling).
