GS-HKS 5-M-EL: Unleashing Boundless Possibilities in Shoe Fabric and Technical Textiles

The GS-HKS 5-M-EL tricot machine from GrandStar Warp Knitting is an innovative solution designed to push the boundaries of textile production. By integrating the advanced EL (Electronic Guide Bar Control) system, this model offers an unparalleled ability to create an extensive range of patterns, making it the ideal choice for producing new shoe fabric patterns, complex Crinkle Fabrics, and other high-value textiles.

Revolutionizing Shoe Fabric Production

This machine stands out with its remarkable capabilities in shoe fabric manufacturing. A specialized coarse machine gauge, developed at GrandStar, enables the production of a multifaceted collection tailored specifically for this sector. The GS-HKS 5-M-EL has already impressed industry professionals with its ability to manufacture durable, stylish, and high-performance shoe fabrics.

Exceptional Fabric Properties for High-Performance Footwear

The fabrics produced with this machine are ideal for sports and leisure shoes, offering a unique blend of toughness, abrasion resistance, and striking visual appeal. A distinctive feature is the two-tone contrasting color effect, achieved through carefully selected polyester yarns:

Ground Guide Bars (GB 1, GB 2, and GB 3): Textured, spin-dyed black polyester yarn enhances depth and pattern definition.
GB 4 and GB 5: A smooth, semi-matt raw-white polyester, arranged in a 1-in/1-out threading, creates a visually dynamic pattern with varied-sized openings.
Spin-dyed yarn: Produces high-contrast motifs that protrude clearly from the ground pattern.

Additionally, a fully threaded pillar stitch in GB 1 ensures enhanced fabric stability, while strategically placed underlaps across other guide bars provide increased abrasion resistance, crucial for high-wear applications.

Unparalleled Versatility for Complex Crinkle Fabrics and Technical Textiles

Beyond shoe fabrics, the GS-HKS 5-M-EL is engineered to handle highly intricate Crinkle Fabrics, apparel textiles, and semi-technical fabrics. When configured in an E 28 gauge, this machine elevates fabric innovation to new heights.

The addition of a fifth guide bar—compared to traditional four-bar tricot machines—unlocks expanded design potential and pattern versatility. The Electronic Guide Bar Control (EL system), combined with five guide bars, ensures maximum flexibility, enabling manufacturers to create a broader range of designs with precision and efficiency.

A Future-Ready Tricot Machine for Innovative Textiles

The GS-HKS 5-M-EL sets new standards in warp knitting, offering unmatched flexibility, enhanced design capabilities, and superior fabric durability. Whether for high-performance shoe fabrics, intricate fashion textiles, or technical materials, this machine empowers manufacturers to achieve next-level innovation and excellence.

With GrandStar’s cutting-edge technology, the GS-HKS 5-M-EL paves the way for a new era of textile manufacturing, where creativity meets efficiency.

Experience precision and innovation with GrandStar® Warp Knitting Machines – engineered for excellence.

Crinkle Fabrics

Warp knitting combined with crinkling techniques creates warp knitting crinkle fabric. This fabric features a stretchy, textured surface with a subtle crinkled effect, achieved through an extended needle bar movement with EL. Its elasticity varies based on yarn selection and knitting methods.

Sports Wear

Equipped with the EL system, GrandStar warp knitting machines can produce athletic mesh fabrics with varying specifications and structures, tailored to different yarn and pattern requirements. These mesh fabrics enhance breathability, making them ideal for sportswear.

Sofa Velevet

Our warp knitting machines produce high-quality velvet/tricot fabrics with unique pile effects. The pile is created by the front bar (bar II), while the rear bar (bar I) forms a dense, stable knitted base. The fabric structure combines a plain and counter notation tricot construction, with ground guide bars ensuring precise yarn positioning for optimal texture and durability.

Automotive Interior

Warp knitting machines from GrandStar enable the production of high-performance automotive interior fabrics. These fabrics are crafted using a specialized four-comb braiding technique on Tricot machines, ensuring durability and flexibility. The unique warp knitting structure prevents wrinkling when bonded with interior panels. Ideal for ceilings, skylight panels, and trunk covers.

Shoes Fabrics

Tricot warp knitted shoe fabrics offer durability, elasticity, and breathability, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. Engineered for athletic and casual footwear, they resist wear and tear while maintaining a lightweight feel for enhanced comfort.

Yoga Clothing

Warp-knitted fabrics offer exceptional stretch and recovery, ensuring flexibility and freedom of movement for yoga practice. They are highly breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping the body cool and dry during intense sessions. With superior durability, these fabrics withstand frequent stretching, bending, and washing. Seamless construction enhances comfort, minimizing friction.

Waterproof Protection

Each machine is meticulously sealed with sea-safe packaging, providing robust defense against moisture and water damage throughout transit.
