FLAT KNITTING TECHNOLOGY

To support the changeover at the user end from the woven technology, Hindustan Platinum’s nitro technologies division chose to invest in “flat knitting” technology known for its distinct advantages. It allows true tailoring of the catalyst system with variable knitting designs and patterns to match the requirements of our customers’ catalyzed ammonia oxidation processes.

The innovative technology connects weft knit fabrics with the traditional characteristics of warp knit, woven and braided fabrics in both – two and three dimensions.

New technical application opportunities are created, where a knit fabric solution combines form and functionality in one piece. With the flat knitting technology, individual and custom designed products are manufactured in a single part production.

Despite single part production, the flat knitting technology facilitates the reduction of working processes resulting in quicker production times while using minimum material. This inevitably leads to quicker and timely deliveries to our customers.
