CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINE:
15. 15
Circular Machine is widely used throughout the knitting industry to produce fabric.
This machine can be built in almost any reasonable diameter and the small diameter of unto
5 which are used for wear.
M/C’s for outerwear and under wear may vary from 12” to 60” in diameter according
to requirement. This m/c. can be used either as fabric or for making Garments section
completely with fancy stitch. Latch needles are commonly employed in all modern circular
m/c. Because of their simple action and also their ability to process various types of yarn.
Plain circular m/c. uses only one sets of needles, circular Rib m/c uses two sets of
needle i.e. cylinder needle and dial needle, the inter lock circular knitting m/c also uses two
sets of needle by needles are long and short respectively for both dial and cylinder, that is
why multiple design and thick fabric can be produce with that m/c. that m/c is also called
double jersey m/c.
Some Terms of Knitting M/C
M/c Gauge - needle/inch (Varies according to diameter)
Needle Type - Latch
Needle bed type - single cylinder, double cylinder, Cylinder and dial, long short
needles far cylinder and long short needle for dial.
Two principle operations exist: -
English system- where the cams and yarns stands revolve by needle and fabric take
down is stationary.
American system- where the needles & fabric take down revolves by cams and yarn
stands are stationary.

Flat m/C’s are the most important industrial knitting m/C’s. The needles are mounted
in beds opposite in an inverted V. formation, are operated by cams in a reciprocating
carriage.
Two sets of needles normally position at right angle to cach other, Latch needles are
Commonly used. Because of the almost unlimited popular in western countries. Their main

PROCESS DEFINITION
Knitting is the interlocking of one or more yarns through a series of loops. The length
wise columns of stitches, corresponding to the warp in woven cloth, are called WALES; the
cross wise rows of stitches, corresponding to the filling in woven cloth, are known as
COURSES, FILLING KNITS (WEFT KNITS) are those fabrics in which the courses are
composed of a single strand of yarn, while warp knits are those in which the Wales are
composed of single strands of yarn. GAUGE Corresponds to the yarn count in a woven
fabric, and is defined as the number of needles or yarns in ½ inches of cloth. The higher the
gauge, the more compact and finer the cloth.
PROCESS REQUIREMENTS
In Aboni Textiles Ltd. 3 types of machines are used for producing knitted fabric.
These are: -
1. Circular knitting Machine (Single Jersey Machines)
2. Circular knitting Machine (Double Jersey Machine)
3. Flat knitting Machine.
CONSIDERABLE POINTS TO PRODUCE KNITTED
FABRIC.
1. G.S.M.
It is technical term that indicates the weight of the fabric per square meter.
2. CHANGING OF G.S.M:
(I) Major control by quality pulley.
(ii) Minor control by stitch length adjustment.
26. 26
Altering the position of the tension pulley changes the G.S.M. of the fabric. If
pulley moves towards the positive directive then the G.S.M. is decrease. And in the
reverse direction G.S.M will increase.
3. POINTS THAT SHOULD CONSIDER IN CASE OF G.S.M. CHANGING:
1. Tension pulley
2. Cam position
3. Take up motion
4. FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CHANGE IN CASE OF FABRIC DESIGN ON
QUALITY CHANGE:
1. Cam setting
2. Tension pulley
3. Set of needle
4. Size of the loop shape
5. RECOMMENDABLE POINTS OF A BUYER:

2. Design of the fabric
3. G.S.M. of the fabric
4. Total weight of the fabric
5. Yarn count
6. Types of yarn (combed or carded)
7. Color of the fabric.

FLAT KNITTING
PROCESS DEFINATION
Flat m/C’s are the most important industrial knitting m/C’s. The needles are mounted
in beds opposite in an inverted V. formation, are operated by cams in a reciprocating
carriage.
Two sets of needles normally position at right angle to cach other, Latch needles are
Commonly used. Because of the almost unlimited popular in western countries. Their main
disadvantages low productivity compare to other weft Knitting m/c.
OPERATION PROCEDURE OF FLAT MACHINES:
To start operation, depress a green button provided at the letf- hand side of the
machine. If either of the red buttons fitted at the right and left sides of the machine is pushed,
the machine will stop. For manual operaion, first push a black clutch button at the right hand
lower part of the machine to disconnect the clutch. Next, push away and turn right manual
operation handle. To reconnect the clutch for automatic operation, pull the manual operation
handle. The clutch lever is of 2-step type. When it is set to the 1st
step, changeover drum will
turn lightly, When performing link fitting to the drum or reknitting, the lever should be set at
this position. the clutch is connected when the clutch lever is raised to the 2nd
step.
Note :
Before raising the clutch lever don’s fail to push the START switch ( green button).
The clutch lever would not be raised unlelss motor is on operation. Forecible raising of the
leer will cause machine trouble on speed change mechanism
39. 39
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURE
#1)Body & Rib Inspection:
All rolls are kept in front of the inspection m/c time to time and are inspected over the
greige inspection m/c visually in a pre-set speed against light. For any major or minor faults
like thick-thin, barre mark, fall out, contamination, fly, holes, oil lines, needle line, slubs etc
are recorded in greige inspection report to classify the fabric based on the four point system.
#2)Collar & Cuff Inspection :
Collar& cuff are inspected visually under the light box, any major or minor faulty
collar/cuff like having wrong ply, hole, needle line, slubs, wrong design, first round problem
etc properly counted and recorded.
#3)Fabric Roll Identification:
Based on the sequence of greige inspection, the inspector serially numbers each roll
ensuring that all rolls having the knit card with complete details of the roll.

MAINTENANCE:
It is required for proper functioning of knitting machines.
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE:
1. Routine maintenance.
2. Unscheduled major maintenance.
3. Scheduled minor maintenance.
(1) Routine maintenance:
During this maintenance production should be off.
During this maintenance cleaning should be done
During this maintenance setting should be checked & adjusted if necessary.
During this maintenance oiling should be done
It takes approximately 5-6 hrs.
(2) Unscheduled major maintenance:
It is done suddenly.
During this maintenance production should be temporary off.
It takes one day (minm
) but it depends on availability of parts.
(3) Scheduled minor maintenance:
During this maintenance production should be temporary off
It takes half a day.
(4) Preventive maintenance:
It is done regularly.
During this maintenance production should be temporary off.
It is one kind of rectifying system..
45. 45
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Cleaning procedure of the machine:
Machine generally cleaned during running by the
operator. He uses the air gun to remove dust, hairy fiber, and other foreign matter deposited
on the machine. Major cleaning operation is done when machine breaks down.
i. Type of cleaning:
Manual cleaning by compressed air with the air gun.
ii. Cleaning points:
Needle
Sinker
Creel tube
Feeder
Yarn
Body of the machine
iii. Cleaning frequency:
Daily per shift
2. Oiling procedure of the machine:
Nowadays all knitting machinery has automation.
Lubricating system in the machine is automatic. When machine’s different zone feels the
requirement of oil then oil circulates to that zone in correct proportion from the oil tank by
pumping. Operator just check the oil tank either it is full or empty. When the tank is going to
be empty then operator fill the oil tank by the recommanded oil. If the machine were inactive
in auto lubrication then there is a push button, which circulates oil to different zone.

It is my immense pleasure that I have got the chance of taking my industrial
attachment in ABONI TEXTILE LTD. because it is a highly equipped mill of
modern machines and of sound management. I have learnt a lot from its technicians &
personnel. This training has bridged the gap between the theoretical and practical
knowledge. The training partners, on this regard, were also very much co-operative
and friendly. I am sure that the knowledge I have gathered from this training will
make a positive influence in my future profession.
