Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine Design
topic
Single jersey machines use a single needle cylinder with latch needles arranged at gauges from 18 to 40 needles per inch rotating at 20 to 35 revolutions per minute, with yarn feeders supplying yarn to each needle feed position through positive feed rollers maintaining constant yarn delivery rate to produce plain jersey fabric at widths of 150 to 200 centimetres when the tubular fabric is slit and opened.
Role
Produces the highest volume knitted fabric structure globally in plain jersey used for t-shirt and casualwear manufacturing, with single jersey machine versatility for patterned structures through striping attachments and jacquard sinker systems enabling production of the full range of jersey-based fabric aesthetics from plain to complex multicolour designs for global apparel markets.
