Flat knitting machine and circular knitting machine

Flat knitting machine and circular knitting machine

Both flat and circular knitting machine are weft knitting machines. The biggest difference between them is the position of the knitting needles. On the flat needle bed is the flat knitting machine. On the cylindrical cylinder and needle tray is the circular machine.

Flat knitting machine

Flat knitting machine belongs to weft knittng machine. It can knit a plane with a definte shape. Sometimes it can also knit 3d ready-to-wear pieces and other products.

There are two kinds of flat knitting machine. One is Hand-operated flat knitting machine, the other is computerized flat knitting machine. The needle bed of this machine is flat. And it usually contains two needle bed, front and back. The width of needle bed is between 500 to 2500mm. The knitting machine gauge of the machine is from E2 to E18. We often use it for sweater gloves and accessories such as collar, hem and entrance guard.

Circular knitting machine

Circular knitting machine has a circular cylinder for storing needles. The threads run continuously around the fabric. Needles are arranged on the machine in a form of a circle and are knitted in the weft direction.

There are many ways to classify circularknitting machines. Such as the diameter of the needle cylinder, Or the side of the products. Circular knitting machine is mainly used to produce weft knitted fabrics. The shape of weft knitted fabrics is tube generally. These types of fabric are suitable for application in clothing, industrial textiles, medical and orthopaedic garments, automotive textiles, hosiery, agro and geo textiles, etc.

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
