Flexible Productivity from a Full Range of Economical Machines
The SFF-series is an economical line-up of compact and spacesaving machines specializing in such applications as plain, rib and tubular knits in panels as well as accessory parts such as collars, plackets and pockets. The SFF131-S features the lightest, most compact carriage in computerized flat knitting applications, while the SFF152-T features a twin-carriage configuration complete with transfer capability. The SFF153-S features a triple-system carriage capable of ultrafine gauge knitting as well. Each of the SFF-series machines is a cost-effective solution for supplementing production with specialty items.
