Jointly developed: Zimmer Austria and Lenze

With production sites in Klagenfurt and Kufstein, ZIMMER AUSTRIA is a worldwide leader among the producers of machines for textile and carpet finishing, e.g. digital printing systems, flat screen and rotary screen printing, coating systems, steaming, washing and drying. Rupert Lerchner, Technical Director at Zimmer Austria, presents at ITMA 2023 a newly developed stripping and ironing machine. The machine can strip off the coating of an engraved rotary screen. But not only taking off the coating, also small wrinkles can be removed with a water jet of about 2500 bars. This way, the rotary screen can afterwards be renewed and reengraved up to 20 times. “Zimmer and Lenze are working together for various decades already. Since Zimmer is a big customer of Lenze we get the support that we need. Lenze knows the products of Zimmer and the functionality of the machines very well and they can assist us in a way to improve our machines (…).” Rupert Lerchner, Technical Director at Zimmer Austria
