This type of knitting machinery creates a distinct, interlocked fabric structure characterized by vertical loops running along the length of the material. This structure produces a smooth, fine-gauge fabric with inherent crosswise stability and a tendency to curl at the edges. Common examples of resultant textiles include lingerie, swimwear, and dress fabrics.
The high-speed production capability of this equipment makes it an essential component of the textile industry. Its ability to create a versatile range of fabrics with varying weights, textures, and drapability contributes significantly to the diverse applications of these materials. Historically, this technology represented a notable advancement in fabric production, offering increased efficiency and a broader spectrum of textile possibilities.
