Knitting Machines

Industrial equipment is a continuing area of development for plastics. Pipes, pumps, valves and sight glasses, made from such materials as PVC, PTFE and poly-4-methylpent-l-ene, have become well established on account of their corrosion resistance. The nylons are used for such diverse applications as mine conveyor belts and main drive gears for knitting machines and paper-making equipment. These and other materials are widely used where such features as toughness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, non-stick properties, electrical insulation capability and transparency are of importance. 

In this method the looping yam runs transversely to the length of the fabric. Loops are formed on a row of needles and the next loops are caught in the hooks of the needles and then drawn through the first loops. Weft knitting machines normally give a circular product and can be used to form the...

Since knitting yams are unsized and usually combed to reduce seed and trash content , there is normally any need for treatment prior to bleaching. The knitting lubricants which replace the size on woven fabrics are usually self scouring, but sometimes from their very volume may create problems with foam and stains in wet processing or in the knitting machine which need to be treated with solvent containing auxiliaries.

Double jersey machines The elastomeric fabrics produced by double-knit machines show distinct face and back stmctures. The fabrics with double or triple layers in some end uses can also be produced by the machines. All double-knit stitches, including double jersey, pique, French pique, ottomans, twills, needle outs, and flat back rib stmctures can be produced using elastic yams. The stitches have width or both width and length stretches using lay in, knit in, or plaiting carrier systems as mentioned above for the elastic yams in bare and covered types.

In parallel with these developments in circular knitting, there was a steady development of competitive technology such as integral complete garment manufacture on flat knitting machines. 

Thus, all seamless garment weft-knitting machines could be divided into two classes circular body-width machines and flat V-bed machines. 

Hatbed knitting machines are also used for the manufacturing of garments by the stitch shape and cut method however, they are mostly used for production of heavier fashion knitwear. Flatbed knitting machines knit flat garment preforms with a welt at...

The jersey stmcture is a single piece of knitted fabric that has a genuine two-layered structure. The knitting machine that was used to produce the fabrics was an ElO gauge, fully electronic flat knitting machine (Stoll Model CMS 440). The stmcture of the jersey stmcture is illustrated in Fig. 7.22.
