In the vast world of the textile industry, Circular Machine Fabric has attracted the attention of countless practitioners and researchers with its unique knitting process and wide range of applications.
Circular Machine Fabric, in simple terms, is a fabric woven by a circular knitting machine. Circular knitting machines, as an important representative of knitting weft knitting equipment, are mainly divided into circular knitting machines and circular hosiery machines. The needle bed of the circular knitting machine is cylindrical and disc-shaped, the diameter of the needle cylinder is generally 356-965mm (14-38 inches), and the machine number is usually between E16-E32. It is mainly used to process knitted blank fabrics of various structures; the circular hosiery machine is specially used to produce various cylindrical socks, with a smaller needle cylinder diameter, generally 71-141mm, and a machine number of E7.5-E36.
The circular knitting process gives Circular Machine Fabric many unique advantages. From a structural point of view, it mostly has finer weaving patterns, which gives the fabric a delicate, smooth appearance and superior texture. Moreover, due to the coil structure characteristics of knitted fabrics, the amount of yarn stored per unit length is large, so most Circular Machine Fabrics have good elasticity. This elasticity not only makes the fabric more comfortable when worn, but also adapts to various shapes and movements, providing greater creative space for fashion designers. For example, in the field of sportswear, sweatshirts and sweatpants made of Circular Machine Fabric can stretch freely with the body movements of athletes, reduce the sense of restraint, and improve sports performance.
In terms of application, the application range of Circular Machine Fabric is very wide. In the clothing industry, it is often used to make double-sided sheet fabrics such as collars and hems, as well as single-sided tubular fabrics such as formed wool sweaters. Its soft texture and good elasticity make these garments both fashionable and comfortable, and are deeply loved by consumers. Cylindrical socks produced by circular sock machines are also one of the typical applications of Circular Machine Fabric, meeting people's daily wear needs.
In addition to the clothing field, Circular Machine Fabric also has important applications in household goods, industrial supplies, etc. For example, in home decoration, it can be made into curtains, sofa covers, etc., adding warmth and beauty to the home environment; in the industrial field, due to its good strength and durability, it can be used to make filter materials, packaging materials, etc.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the production technology of Circular Machine Fabric is also constantly innovating and developing. New circular knitting equipment continues to emerge, improving production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, textile researchers are also constantly exploring new fiber materials and weaving processes to further enhance the performance and application range of Circular Machine Fabric.
