MBF 3.2
Three-thread fleece in 4-needle structures
and a whole lot more.
Its predecessor the MBF II set a whole new
worldwide standard. The MBF 3.2 has been kitted out
with all of its virtues plus a whole range of added
advantages: The ingenious modular MCT system
permits the quick and easy exchange of individual
segments right through to the whole knitting head
between the machine models MV 4-3.2 and MBF 3.2.
This quick-change system means greater bulk production flexibility and economy for every knitting
factory.
With a simple type conversion, for instance, the
MBF 3.2 can knit not only three-thread fleece but
also single jersey structures, plated fabrics, twothread fleece and even three-thread fleece
combined with ground piqu. And all this at a
high continuous output rate particularly with OE
and blended yarns.

Cost of sinkers halved, improved fabric

appearance.
MCT sinker shape, new sinker guidance and MCT
sinker cambox with double guidance mean half the
degree of wear and guarantee a more even fabric
appearance. Here, too, the MCT principle applies:
Fewer faults = greater output = lower costs
maintenance costs too!

High performance with no ifs and buts.

The MFB 3.2 is just made for economical bulk production. What it offers is simply reliable production
and reliably simple operation. The wide setting range
permits the production of a varied spectrum of fabric
qualities. The diagonal stitch length adjustment
function means that yarn feeder positions remain
constant no matter what the knockover depth. The
use of individual segments makes the sinkers more
quickly accessible. And all at a continuous output
also when working with cotton.

High performance in both quality and output utmost reliability. This type of high-speed open-width
technology calls for a highly stable frame construction.

Quick-change means you knit just what you
need.

Optimum solution: fleece thread directly on

the needle shank.

The quick-change system is the key to greater flexibility and higher profits. Type conversion is simplicity
itself by simply exchanging cam segments. Gauge conversion with no need to exchange cam parts and
feeders or diameter conversion within the restriction of the frame size the MBF 3.2 offers practically unlimited scope.

This arrangement means that the coarse fleece thread

is not placing undue strain on the needle hook and
cannot become twisted or displaced. The result: less
strain on needle latches, and the guarantee of even
plating.

Simple Operation via Touch Screen Display.

The state-of-the-art, clear touch screen display, which

has a USB port and permits the wireless transmission
of patterns via a Bluetooth adapter, guarantees
easy-to-understand prompting. At 2 GB it has a high
memory capacity. Software updates can be carried
out by the user without having to use the MCT
service.
