The M-172 (official designation M-172/203SJT) is Matsuya’s wide-bed computerized collar flat knitting machine with a 68-inch or 80-inch needle bed, available in 10G, 12G, 14G, 16G and 18G gauges. The wide bed knits more collars per carriage pass, raising productivity for high-volume trim production, while the single knitting system runs at up to 1.3 m/s with full and semi jacquard patterning for collars, hems, plackets and cuffs. As the official Matsuya distributor in Egypt, Moussa Egypt supplies this machine with installation, operator training and full after-sales support.

The widest bed in the Matsuya collar range knits more pieces per carriage pass, multiplying output for high-volume collar and trim production.

Official application range: collars, hems, chest plackets and cuffs, with full and semi jacquard patterning for complex multi-colour designs.

Available in 10G, 12G, 14G, 16G and 18G needle gauges, covering coarse to fine knit structures on the same platform.
The single-system carriage runs at up to 1.3 metres per second — combined with the wide bed, the highest-output collar machine in the range.
