Terry and Plush Circular Knitting Machines
topic
Terry circular knitting machines use sinkers with extended neb profiles that hold ground yarn loops short while forming longer pile loops from the terry yarn fed at higher rate, with sinker geometry and yarn feed ratio determining pile loop height from 2 to 8 millimetres, producing terry fabric for towelling, bathrobes, and sports terry used in cotton and cotton-polyester blend circular knitted terry applications.
Role
Produces the looped pile surface of circular knitted terry fabrics used in towels, bathrobes, and sportswear where the pile loops provide the absorbency, softness, and thermal comfort properties distinguishing terry fabrics from plain jersey, with pile height, ground to pile yarn ratio, and fibre type being the primary design parameters governing the absorbency and softness performance of the finished terry product.
