Weft Knitting Production Line: Precision Weaving, Stable and Efficient
The company's weft knitting workshop is equipped with a range of high-performance circular weft knitting machines, including single-knit, double-knit, and ribbed models, capable of flexibly meeting production requirements for different fabric weights, widths, and structures. Starting with yarn incoming inspection, the production line strictly follows standardized procedures: yarn is first cleaned and tension‑equalized through automatic winding and dust removal systems; then, based on process specifications, materials such as polyester and spandex are fed into the machines for knitting. The weft knitting process uses needles to bend, loop, and interlock the yarn sequentially, forming a horizontally oriented loop structure that gives the fabric excellent elasticity, softness, and dimensional stability.
During production, online tension monitoring systems and fabric defect detection devices work in real time, automatically alerting and recording anomalies to ensure consistent quality throughout continuous knitting. The workshop is also equipped with intelligent yarn feeding and batching systems, enabling full traceability from knitting to fabric doffing. After knitting, the grey fabric is transported via enclosed conveyor lines to the heat‑setting stage, where high‑temperature setting eliminates internal stress and stabilizes fabric width. Each batch undergoes physical performance tests (e.g., bursting strength, shrinkage, color fastness) to ensure the finished fabric meets the high standards required for sportswear, yoga wear, and outdoor equipment.
Thanks to the deep integration of automation and information technology, the weft knitting production line achieves higher output while significantly reducing common defects such as broken yarn and barre marks, providing a stable and uniform base fabric for subsequent water‑based coating and further processing.
