Knit Fabric Faults In Production | Causes And Way Of Remedies Of Knitting Faults

Posted on

Knit fabric is produced from loop formation. So it needs to be careful during production. Different types of faults could be found in knit fabric, which could be the cause of fabric rejection. If we can find out the defects of fabric during production, than we can take steps to remove it from the next knitting production process.In practical; following knitting faults could be found in the knit fabric. Some knitting faults and their remedies are given bellow:

Hole MarkCauses:
During loop formation the yarn breaks in the rejoin of the needle hook.Holes are the results of yarn breakage or yarn cracks.If the yarn count is not correct on regarding structure, gauge, course and density.Badly knots or splicing.Badly set of yarn feeder.

Needle MarkCauses:
When a needle breaks down then needle marks come along the fabrics.If a needle or needle hook is slightly bends then needle mark comes on the fabrics.Star Causes:Buckling of the needle latch.Yarn tension variation during production.Low G.S.M fabric production.

Sinker MarkCauses:
When sinker corrodes due to abrasion then sometimes it cannot hold a new loop as a result sinker mark comes.If sinker head bend then sinker mark comes.Drop StitchesCauses:If yarn is not properly feed during loop formation.Use of defective needle.Too loose of take down mechanism.If yarn tension is insufficient.If yarn feeder is badly set.Oil StainCause:When oil lick through the needle trick then it pass on the fabrics and make a line.Rush StainCause:If any rush in the machine.Pin HoleCause:Pin hole may come to fabric due to break down or bend of the latch.

Grease StainCauses:
Improper greasing in the machineIF greasing is excess.Cloth Fall OutCause:Cloth fall out can occur after a drop stitch especially when an empty needle with an empty needle with close latch runs into the yarn feeder and remove the yarn out of the hook of the following needles.

BarreCauses:
Yarn fault is responsible for this fault.If different micro near value of fiber content in yarn.Different luster and dye affinity of fiber content in yarn.During spinning different similar classes of fiber is mixed specially in carded yarn and these fibers have similar characteristics.In draw frame different similar classes sliver is mixed and make one sliver.

Yarn ContaminationCauses:
If yarn contains foreign fiber then it remains in the fabric even after finishing.Lot mixing and count mixing is responsible for these faults.Fly DustCause:In knitting section too much lint or short fiber is flying to and fro that are created from yarn due to low twist as well as yarn friction. This lint may adhere or attached to the fabric surface tightly during knit fabric manufacturing.

Yarn FaultsCauses:
Different yarn faults also are cause for knitting faults.NepsSlubsYarn count variationThick/Thin place in yarnHairinessNow, if we want to remove these knitting faults we should be aware before yarn selection and during knitting of fabric. Knitting machine conditions should be perfect. Needle, Sinker, Feeder and other equipments, which is used, should be fault free.So, Management related person should be aware about the causes of knitting faults and try to reduce the knitting faults.

circular-knitting-machine-Parts
There are some different circular knitting machine parts and their functions are given below:

Creel: Creel is called the holder of cone. Cone is placed in a creel for feeding the yarn to the feeder.
Feeder: Yarn is feed through the feeder. No of feeder is depends on the design of the fabric.
VDQ Pulley: G.S.M of the knit fabric is controlled by VDQ pulley. VDQ pulley is used for controlling the stitch length of the fabric.
Guide: Guide is called the supporting element. Guide is used to guide the yarn.
Sensor: Sensor is an automatic controlling system. When a yarn pass through this sensor than if any yarn break down or any problem occur than it automatically stop by this sensoring system.
Cylinder: Cylinder is the main parts of a knitting machine. Adjustment of a cylinder is important. Cylinder carries needle, sinker, cam and many more.
Spreader: Spreader is used to spread the knitted fabric before take up roller. Knit fabrics may be tube or open type. Spreader is adjusted as need.
Fixation Feeder: This type of feeder is used in electrical auto striper knitting machine to feed the yarn at specific finger.
Rethom: Rethom is used in electrical auto stripper knitting machine.
Different well known companies are manufacturing such types of knitting machine. Day by day they are trying to add some advance technology two facilities best opportunity. In this sense we can consider auto stripe, which gives more opportunity two produce multi-color long stripe knit fabrics. Different zigzag design also can be produced by an auto stripe machine. It is note that, faulty knitting machine parts create knitting faults. To increase the knitting production we should use latest knitting machine.

So, before buying a knitting machine we have to consider these above points.

China is Germany’s textile industry’s most important export market

Posted on

2014, the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) ushered in the 10th anniversary of entering the Chinese market. June 26, Dr. ReinholdFestge VDMA chairman, said at a news conference: “Germany’s machinery manufacturing industry exports to China after years of growth, a downward trend in the past two years, in 2013, the German machinery and equipment industry in the Greater China. exports to the region reached 141 billion yuan, although exports fell by 3.7%, but China is still the world’s most important German sales market. ”

10 summers ago, VDMA set up a representative office in Beijing. Currently, there are over 600 VDMA member companies set up branches in China, located in Beijing and Shanghai representative office to provide information services to enter the Chinese market for these member companies. In fact, except for some of the effects of the global economic downturn on the market, and as more and more German companies in China launched a joint venture and cooperation, and some equipment has been implemented for the production of localized, so sales are no longer included in the import and export data data, which is also one of the reasons the German side exports decline.

German-Chinese trade is not a one-way street

Recalling 2004 VDMA newly established office in the Chinese, German bilateral trade volume in the mechanical equipment of approximately 70 billion yuan, and by 2013, this figure had reached 166 billion yuan. 2013, China’s exports of machinery and equipment to the German trade total 33 billion yuan. Germany in the EU is now China’s largest trading partner. First quarter of 2013, Chinese exports rose against Germany by 14%, while Germany’s exports to China fell by 3%. “German machinery exports to China trend is still no sign of rising. Nevertheless, we still export situation in 2014 remains optimistic about the second quarter, in the second half of this year and hopes to have a better performance, achieved in 2014 in Germany machinery and equipment exports to China-digit growth is expected. “said Dr. Festge.

Machinery and equipment exports only part of the Sino-German bilateral cooperation. In the past 10 years, China is already the world’s best investment among the best in the country. German machinery manufacturing industry in China’s direct investment in 2004 from 5.7 billion yuan in 2012 rose to 40 billion yuan. “China immediately after the United States, Germany’s most important business in the overseas market, the stage can be sure that the next few years, the number of branches of our member companies in China will exceed the number in the United States.” Festge doctor said.

Textile industry advocates “blue energy efficiency.”

China International Textile Machinery Exhibition ITMA Asia Exhibition held in Shanghai in June this year, the German Embassy Consul General in Shanghai WofgangR? Hua hr attended the German textile machinery industry association VDMA to the Chinese textile industry launched the “blue energy efficiency” Technical News conference, who personally introduced to the industry of Germany advanced technology and energy management applications. In the textile industry, the application of blue energy efficiency technologies in Germany has covered the whole process of textile production and supply chain. Through higher energy efficiency, more reliable production technology to help textile manufacturers to save costs, win more profitable returns. It is estimated that if energy efficiency technology in the blue cotton knit T-shirt production, integrated energy conservation will reach 28%; If for advertising banner manufacturing, will be achieved energy savings of 26%; using German technology to produce functional T-shirt, make comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by about 1/3. In the process of this transformation and upgrading of China’s textile industry advocates, the German textile machinery manufacturing advanced energy-saving and environmental protection technology, has attracted attention across multiple industries wool, chemical fiber, industrial areas, etc., and for the production and processing of high-end products to provide high-quality and low-power technical support. At present, the scale of the German textile machinery exports industry was 30 billion euros, of which China is Germany’s textile industry’s most important export market.

Tremendous opportunities for Chinese space

“If you want long-term development of enterprises in China need to be clear in the end products to hit the market strategy.” VDMA chief StephanieHeydolph of German companies in China made ​​such recommendations. China’s machinery and equipment has huge potential demand. In the next 15 years, China’s population of 2/3 will be settled in the city, the acceleration of urbanization is bound to bring the upgrading of technical equipment. Garbage collection, wastewater treatment, urban water supply, food sanitation, urban transport and other issues are facing challenges. Machinery and equipment from Germany in many ways hydropower, wind energy, etc. have a proven solution. These technologies will continue over the next 10 years in a leading position.

Reporters at the press conference Q & A session, one of the most challenging problems, Dr. Festge asked is: “Now China’s macroeconomic slowdown, some foreign disinvestment phenomenon emerged in China, the German machinery industry whether the same ? considerations, “Dr. Festge replied:” Although the past year, the German machinery industry in Europe experienced an economic downturn in the Spanish market; market in South America, Brazil experienced a more severe inflation, but German companies are only moderately reduced scale, did not intend to withdraw because we promised would not leave easily, especially for the Chinese market. “
