Knitting Machines Development Process

In 1589 a person name William Lee in Calverton made a first attempt to convert homemade knitting into machine knitting. From then, the knitting industry was established and with the passage of time it has seen lots of developments in mechanical process of knitting. They first come up with hand flat knitting machine and then move onto a complete hosiery knitting machine by inventing the frame knitting machines.

Let us discuss the development process of knitting machines technology in detail:-

1. Cut and Sew Production process:

In this process, the entire panel of fabric can be used. With the use of cutting and sewing production process, the finished garment can be produced. Though, this process requires several post-knitting methods like cutting and sewing. And also the pockets and trimmings can be done by labor separately. In this process, the original fabric was wasted up to 40%. 

2. Fully-Fashioning:

With the advancement in technology, the entire process can be done by machines. The loop can be transferred for increasing or decreasing the number of wales which then helps in making the fabric. In this entire process, loop transference plays an essential role.

It is the process which moves the stitches or the loops from the needles on which fabric transfers from one needle to other needles.  This process does not requires any cutting in prior. It produces the front and back body parts as well as sleeve parts separately parts by increasing or decreasing the number of loops. However, in this method the entire separated parts of the garment could be sew or link with each other. This involves the joining of side seams or edges of garment together on a linking machine.

3. Seamless Garment Knitting:

Seamless garment knitting is the latest technology in which the complete garment can be sewed on a knitting machine without any pre cutting or post sewing processes. It has the capability of reducing the production time of the fabric because it does not involve any labor or other post-knit processes on different machines like the linking or sewing and cutting processes. These machines make the work process faster, easier and cost effective. With the seamless garment knitting, the wastage of yarn cuttings can also be minimized.  It helps in achieving higher productivity at less time.

Seamless Garment Knitting can be done on two types of machines i.e. Circular Knitting Machine or Flat Knitting Machine.

 Flat knitting produces the fabric by turning into periodically. In this process, the fabric is always knitted by facing the alternating sides of knitter.  These flat knitting machines are very flexible and allows designing complex stitch with precise width adjustment. However, it is relatively slower then circular knitting machines. A Circular knitting machine creates seamless tube by starting the process similar to flat knitting but then join the ends to form a circle.  In this process, the wastage is minimal and also it requires less seam joining. In circular knitting machines, the knitting can be work in rounds which then forms a tube by twisting around in a coil.

FUNDAMENTALS OF KNITTING MACHINES- BHARAT MACHINERY WORKS

What is knitting? Out of total fabric production occurring in India, knitting forms more than 30% of the share. We define knitting as the process of making a piece of fabric by intermeshing the loops of yarn. The knitted fabrics that we make can be either in tubular or flat form. We can use the knitted fabrics for making apparels as well as other products such as sweaters, hosiery, underwear, stockings and socks. Types of Knitting Machines: We usually classify the knitting machines into two kinds, i.e. warp knitting machines and weft knitting machines. Warp knitting machines form loops in the vertical direction whereas weft knitting machines form loops in the horizontal direction. As compared to warp knitting, weft knitting is more open, more resilient and has more design possibilities. The type of stitch that we use in weft knitting affects both the properties as well as the appearance of the knitted fabric. Warp knitting offers more cover, less resilience, lighter weight...

BASICS OF KNITTING

Image
Knitting is one of the most primitive methods used for creating garments by interlacing two sets of yarns either in the weft or warp directions. Apart from manufacturing long lengths of fabrics, we can also employ the technique of knitting for producing ready-to-use knitted goods such as sweaters, hosiery etc.  Origin of Knitting: It is available in the documents that the first knitted item made by man was a pair of hand-knitted socks brought into being in a mausoleum of Egypt. But, the initial definite instance of the development of the skill of knitting date back to the 15th century in Western Europe. Moreover, the earliest knitting trade federation gets originated in Paris in 1527. An Englishman with a name of Rev. William Lee originated the first knitting machine in the year of 1589. The most primitive knitting device was capable of knitting 1 inch wide knitted fabrics having eight loops. Machine-Based Knitting: Due to the rapid progress of the human-made...

Circular Knitting Machines for Knitting Jute and Jute-Cotton Blends

Image
Knitted cotton goods are more prevalent among people and meet about half of the world's clothing needs.   Moreover, the knitting machines that we have in the market are mainly for knitting cotton.                                                    When we talk of knitting jute then due to its hairiness, harshness, friction and inextensibility, it was not possible to knit jute in the machines that were readily available for the knitting of finer yarns. So, there was a necessity to design such knitting machines on which we could knit 100% jute as well as jute-cotton blended yams. Manufacturers made some alterations and improvements in the previous designs of the machines to make them suitable for knitting flawless single jersey apparels from pure jute and jute-cotton mixed yarns. Our company is one of the leading circular knitting machine exporters s...
