ZSK displays latest Multihead 56 head embroidery machine

ZSK Stickmaschinen GmbH’s ZBFA 5606  the world’s biggest multihead embroidery machine with 56 heads, an enormous embroidery field and six colours was undoubtedly one of the star exhibits at Textile Asia 2009.  Represented by AHS Textile Machinery, the enormous and efficient machine attracted visitors.

Its head-spacing of 24/4 or 48/4 is almost tailor-made for the typical Pakistani production. Moreover, the ZSK ZBFA machines operate with true Automatic Head-Selection for extraordinary designs and can be upgraded with different devices like sequin, boring and cord/loop.

The company's success is based on a winning combination of creativity and flexibility on the one hand, and precision and technology on the other, while production is continuously adapted to market requirements.

PTJ spoke to Mr. Irfan Abu-baker of Saleem Trading Co.,  Karachi, one of the first companies to purchase ZSK ZBFA 5606 in Karachi. Mr. Abu-Baker elaborated on the features of this machine that compelled him to make his decision.

“This is a highly reliable and robust machine.  With this machine high outputs are possible.  Besides high production the quality that can be achieved, four sided embroidered borders are possible with this machine for dupattas which in my opinion no other multihead machine in the market can do.”  The machine does boring  which until recently was possible in Schiffli machines only.  This is the age of competition and the 56 head machine’s production cost of production is less than half of other machines.

There is a huge demand for embroidered fabric in the domestic  market of Pakistan.  Women’s suits and scarves with intricate embroideries are ever in demand and in fashion.
