As my country’s economic development capabilities improve, the development trends in various fields are also becoming faster and faster. There are also many industries that choose to use machinery to replace human manual production, which can not only improve production efficiency but also reduce labor costs. The same situation exists in the field of knitwear. Today’s knitting machines have replaced the original mobile knitted scarves, which not only improves efficiency but also enriches the variety of clothes. So, how to choose the type of sweater knitting machine? Here is a brief and detailed introduction.
The size selection of the knitting machine mainly considers two aspects: needle type and needle width.
1、Selection of needle type: The higher the needle type, such as 12 needles, the denser the wool suitable for production and processing, and the thinner the fabric produced; the lower the needle type, such as 3 needles, the thicker the wool suitable for production and processing, and the fabric produced will be thinner. The thicker the fabric. For example, 6 needles are suitable for producing and processing wool and producing textiles.
Xuzhou Qixing Machinery Co., Ltd. pointed out that when purchasing a knitting machine, two aspects should be considered: First, the size of the wool produced and processed. The thicker the wool used, the lower the needle type of the knitting machine should be selected; the denser the wool used, the higher the needle type of the knitting machine should be selected; the second is the type of product produced. If you are producing thin clothing for summer and autumn, you should choose a knitting machine with a higher needle type; if you are producing thick clothing for winter, you should choose a knitting machine with a lower needle type.
2、Selection of needle width: The width of the needle width will directly limit the maximum width of the knitted garment. The wider the needle width, such as 40 or 42 feet, the wider the maximum width of the garment pieces that can be produced; the narrower the needle width, such as 36 feet, the narrower the maximum width of the garment pieces that can be produced.
Therefore, the needle width should be selected based on the style and clothing specifications of the product to be produced, or in other words, the maximum number of horizontal columns in the garment processing sheet of the product to be produced. That is, based on the product model and fabric density, calculate the number of knitting needles at the larger width position of the garment piece, and then determine the total needle width based on the needle type. Generally speaking: the larger the specifications of the finished product, the wider the needle width required, and vice versa.
