What Are the Parts of a Double Jersey Circular Knitting Machine?
In the global textile industry, circular knitting machines play a critical role in producing high-quality fabrics with efficiency and precision. Among the many types available, the double circular knitting machine (also known as the double jersey circular knitting machine) stands out for its ability to produce durable, elastic, and versatile fabrics. At Binji Machinery, we have inherited nearly 25 years of industry expertise in the manufacturing and R&D of circular knitting machines, ensuring that our technology continues to meet the evolving demands of textile producers worldwide.
The Importance of a Double Jersey Circular Knitting Machine
Unlike a singer circular knitting machine, which typically produces single-knit fabrics, the double jersey machine is equipped with two sets of needles. This allows manufacturers to create fabrics with more structure, better thickness, and increased elasticity. As a result, double jersey fabrics are widely used in sportswear, fashion garments, home textiles, and even technical textiles that require durability and comfort.
Key Parts of a Double Circular Knitting Machine
To understand how these machines achieve such high performance, it is essential to look at their main components:
Cylinder – The heart of the machine, where vertical needles are arranged to form stitches. In double jersey machines, two sets of needles (cylinder and dial) work together for complex patterns.
Dial – Positioned above the cylinder, the dial contains horizontal needles. It enables the formation of intermeshed loops with the cylinder needles, which is crucial for producing double-knit fabrics.
Needles – High-quality latch needles ensure consistent loop formation. Double jersey machines use a combination of dial and cylinder needles for versatility.
Sinkers – Metal elements that hold down the yarn, ensuring precise loop control during knitting.
Cams and Cam Box – These parts control the movement of the needles. Adjusting cam settings allows for different fabric designs, stitch densities, and patterns.
Creel and Yarn Feeders – Yarn is supplied through the creel and directed by feeders into the knitting zone, ensuring smooth and uniform delivery.
Take-Down System – This mechanism pulls the finished fabric downward, maintaining fabric tension and consistent quality.
Frame and Control Panel – Modern machines feature advanced electronic control systems for monitoring speed, tension, and stitch precision, offering ease of operation and customization.
