Passap knitting machines: true double-bed systems

Passap

A Swiss made Brand of knitting machines that is a "true" double bed.


Although all knitting machines produce knitted fabric, the Passap machines are fixed double bed machines that work in a completely different way than the Japanese machines (Brother, Knit King, Silver, Singer, Studio, Elna).

Many knitters use both systems, but it takes a bit of "translation" to accomplish the same techniques each machine.

Shown is a DM80 a punchcard version that includes both 2 and 4 yarn color changers and a Deco Charting Device.
A later model, the E6000 is an electronic version.
