Product type
A circular knitting machine is a type of textile machinery used to produce knitted fabrics in a continuous tubular form. These machines consist of a series of needles arranged in a circular configuration, allowing for the simultaneous creation of multiple rows of stitches. Typically made from high-quality metals and alloys, they are designed for durability and precision in fabric production. Circular knitting machines are commonly used in the apparel industry for manufacturing items such as t-shirts, socks, and seamless garments.
| Needle diameter | Typically ranges from 3 to 12 mm |
| Number of needles | Can vary from 20 to over 2000 |
| Production speed | Ranges from 30 to 200 RPM |
| Fabric width | Commonly from 30 to 200 inches |
| Power consumption | Typically between 1 to 10 kW |
When choosing a circular knitting machine, consider the type of fabric you intend to produce, as different machines are optimized for various materials such as cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers. Specify the desired needle diameter, production speed, and fabric width to ensure the machine meets your production requirements. Additionally, inquire about the machine's compatibility with different yarn types and any necessary certifications for quality assurance.
