Have you heard of Bianco's tubular fabric slitting machine? Do you know which textile process this product is used in?
1. What is weft knitted fabrics?
First,tubular fabric slitting machine is used for the production of weft knitted fabrics.
The main products are: knitted jersey, cotton wool, ribbed fabric, mesh fabric, polar fleece, air layer, polyester cover, terry cloth, brushed cloth, cut flannel, artificial fur, etc. There are many mixed variation woven fabrics. Methods such as: plain rib change organization, jacquard organization, tuck organization, plating organization, pad organization, terry change organization, etc. Due to the different needle arrangement rules of the weaving method, the same product will also have many changes, such as: mesh cloth has small mesh, pearl mesh, pineapple grid, waffle grid and so on.
2. Features
Knitted fabrics have the characteristics of soft texture, moisture absorption and breathability, perspiration and warmth retention, and most of them have excellent elasticity and extensibility. Compared with woven fabrics, it has the characteristics of high output and suitable for small batch production. Knitted clothing is comfortable to wear, close to the body and body, without tightness, and can fully reflect the human body curve.
3. Application of knitted fabrics
Knitted material is soft, in addition to good wrinkle resistance and breathability, but also has greater extensibility and elasticity, suitable for underwear, tights and sportswear. Knitted fabrics can also be used as outerwear after changing their structure and improving dimensional stability. Knitted fabrics can be first woven into grey fabrics, cut and sewn into various knitted fabrics; they can also be directly woven into fully formed or partially formed products, such as socks and gloves. Knitted fabrics are widely used in industry, agriculture and health care, in addition to clothing, living and decorative fabrics such as underwear, outerwear, socks, gloves, hats, sheets, bedspreads, curtains, mosquito nets, carpets, and lace. Such as filter cloth for dust removal, high-pressure pipes for oil and gas transmission, liner cloth for rubber and plastic industries, oil booms for oil ports, safety nets for construction, packaging bags for agricultural and sideline products, low-pressure hoses for irrigation and fertilization, crops Nets for cutting and training, nets for protecting embankment slopes, fishing nets, artificial blood vessels, artificial heart valves, bandages and knee pads, etc. The disadvantage of knitted fabric is that it is easy to snag and the size is difficult to control.
4. Knitting production process
There are four main steps in the production of knitted fabrics: spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing.
1) Spinning: the process of processing all kinds of woven fibers into yarns.
2) Weaving: a fabric formed by knitting needles and other looping machines to form loops from yarns, and the loops are strung together at one time.
3.)Dyeing: The process of coloring the fiber material with dyes or pigments and making it with a certain fastness.
4)Reconstruction: Make refers to the physical and chemical processing to improve the appearance and internal quality of the fabric, improve the wearing performance of the fabric or give it special functions.
The tubular fabric slitting machine is mainly applicable after rope dyeing. It is used to slit&open roped fabric and has been specially designed for continuous high speed operation in automatic mode.The machine material could be A3 Steel or Stainless Steel,which could be suitable for both raw and wet fabrics.
SUNTECH tubular fabric slitting machine adopts advantages technology.
●Raisable Frame and Automatic Detwister: Automatic detwister for fabric rope. The signal from feeler is picked up by proximity switches. Fabric rope engagement is by means of rotary opening rollers.
●Slitting Basket: By means of a hand wheel, the diameter of the round basket can be expanded from 320 to 800mm, so as to facilitate the spreading of fabric and prevent permanent weft distortions, as may be generated by the slitting process.
●Needle Drop Sensor: Needle drop sensor can detect the needle drop on the fabric and adjust the basket to place the fabric in proper slitting position. Both slitting and rope opening function.
●Spreading-Centering Unit: It automaticaly open the fabric and then center it, to ensure that the fabric is alignment in the center of the machine.
●Hydraulic Turntable - Option: Controlled by fluid power, 1800mm diameter, for fabric carriage rotation in heavy duty conditions. It facilitate the operation of rope detwist- ing after washing or dyeing.
●Squeezing Unit for Fabric Ropes - Option: Squeezing unit J-box with an oslillating chute for self adjustment of speed, to be installed on the entry of the line to reduce the quantity of water contained in the fabric.
