Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine

Different Parts of a Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine and Their Functions:

 

Creel: Creel is a vertical aluminum stick where creel is placed for holding the yarn cone. It also known as side creel.

Cone Holder: Cone holder is an inclined metallic stick where yarn cone is placed for feeding the yarn to the feeder easily. It is also known as cone carrier.

Aluminum Telescopic Tube: This is the tube through which yarn is passed. It reaches the yarn to the memminger positive feeder. It works as a yarn cover. It protects the yarn from the excessive friction, dust and fly fiber.

Stopper: Stopper is a part of MPF. Yarn is passed through the stopper and it is connected with the sensor. If yarn breaks, then stopper gets upwards and the sensor receives a signal to stop the machine. At the same time, a light also flashes. Generally, a stopper is two types. Top stopper and bottom stopper.

Lycra Attachment Device: Lycra yarn is feed by the following device.

Yarn Guide: Yarn guide receive yarn from the MPF. It is used to guide the yarn and sent yarn to the feeder guide. It maintains the smooth tension on the yarn.

Feeder Guide: Feeder guide receive yarn from yarn guide and feed yarn to the needle. It is the last device which releases yarn to the knit fabric.

 

Needle: Needle is the master part of the knitting machine. Needle receive yarn from the feeder, create a loop as well as release old loop and finally produce the fabric.

 

Cam: Cam is the device which converts the rotary motion into a definite reciprocating motion for the needles and some other devices.

Cam Box: Cam box holds and supports cam. Knit, truck and miss cam are arranged horizontally according to fabric design in the cam box.

 

Sinker: Sinker is another master part of the knitting machine. It supports yarn to form the desired loop. Sinker is located at each and every gap of the needle.

 

Sinker Box: Sinker box holds and supports the sinker.

Cylinder: Cylinder is another master part of the knitting machine. Cylinder adjustment is one of the most important technical work. The cylinder holds and carries needle, cam box, sinker, etc.

Air Blow Gun: A device connected with high-velocity pressurized air. It blows air to feed the yarn through the aluminum tube. It also used for cleaning purposes.

Automatic Needle Detector: A device placed very close to the needle sets. It gives a signal if it found any broken o damaged needle.

 

Adjustable Fan: Generally two sets of running fans are continuously circulated from the center of machine dia. These fans are faced with the needle points that remove dust, hairy fiber as well as keep needle cool. Adjustable fans are rotated in the opposite motion of the cylinder.

Lubricating Tube: This tube supplies lubricants to the cam box, sincar box to remove excessive friction and heat. Lubricants are sent through the tube with the help of an air compressor.

Spreader: Spreader is situated below the machine body. It receives fabric from the needle, spreads fabric and ensures uniform fabric tension. The spreader is adjusted as the fabric is open type or tube type.

 

Winding Roller: This roller is situated just under the take-down motion rollers. It rolled the fabric itself. When this roller becomes bigger by the fabric layer it also moves upward.
