Used Mayer & Cie Knitting Machines for Sale 13

Mayer & Cie has built dominant global position in circular knitting through decades of German engineering focused on the specific requirements of high-productivity circular knit fabric production. The company's market share in circular knitting machines exceeds essentially every individual competitor.

Single jersey circular knitting machines (the Relanit series and similar) produce the lightweight knit fabrics used in T-shirts, polo shirts, lingerie, and similar apparel applications. Single jersey represents one of the highest-volume knit fabric categories globally, and Mayer & Cie machines dominate the production technology.

Machine diameter selection matches finished fabric tube circumference. Standard diameters of 30, 32, 34, and 36 inches cover the typical apparel knitting range. Larger diameters extend to 40+ inches for specific applications. The diameter selection determines fabric tube width before subsequent cutting and sewing operations.

Machine gauge (the needle density per inch) determines the fineness of the knit fabric. Standard gauges from 10 (coarse) through 36 (very fine) cover the application range from heavy outerwear knits through fine lingerie fabrics. Most apparel knitting uses gauges 18-28 covering medium-weight to fine-weight knit fabrics.

Double jersey circular knitting machines produce double-knit fabrics with both fabric faces consisting of knit loops. Double jersey provides better dimensional stability than single jersey, suiting applications where dimensional stability matters — automotive interior fabrics, sportswear requiring shape retention, and similar applications.

Specialty circular knitting includes terry circular knitting (for terry knit fabrics), fleece circular knitting (for fleece fabrics), and various specialty applications. Each specialty has specific machine configuration requirements.

Electronic patterning systems on modern Mayer & Cie machines enable complex pattern knitting through electronic needle selection. The electronic patterning eliminates mechanical pattern wheels and similar mechanical pattern systems of earlier machine generations, providing virtually unlimited pattern flexibility.

German engineering quality applied to circular knitting produces machines with operational durability that supports decades of productive operation. Many Mayer & Cie machines remain in service 25+ years after original installation, particularly when properly maintained.

Mayer & Cie service organisation provides global support for circular knitting equipment with parts and technical support across major textile manufacturing markets. The continuing service availability supports productive used machine deployment.

Used Mayer & Cie knitting machines from textile manufacturers represent substantial value for buyers expanding knit fabric production capacity or entering specific knitting applications. The brand recognition combined with continuing service support enables productive used machine deployment globally.

Applications dominate apparel knit fabric production — T-shirt fabric, polo shirt fabric, lingerie fabric, sportswear fabric, and similar mainstream knit apparel applications. Specialty applications include automotive interior textiles, technical textile knit fabrics, and specialty knit applications.

Browse used Mayer & Cie knitting machines on Exapro to compare single jersey, double jersey, and specialty configurations from verified sellers worldwide.

When evaluating used Mayer & Cie knitting machines on Exapro, verify mechanical condition through running tests at production speeds, check needle and sinker condition (these are wear items affecting fabric quality), inspect cam track and yarn feeding systems, test electronic patterning function on equipped machines, confirm control system function and software version, and verify that machine diameter and gauge match your intended knit fabric production.
