A singlephone machine has one needleer. On one phonon, the main number of species of mating is performed. The knitted product can be thin or thick. It all depends on the thickness of the thread and the very mating, but at the same time it will have both the facial and purl side.

Simple knitting machines - Silver Reed LK150, Silver Reed SK280, Silver Reed SK840.

The two-reinforced machine contains two needles. It consists of the main machine and the console, which expands the possibilities and allows you to perform various mating that have the volume, and also the ability to encourage a two-chain canvas, knit in a circle. When the multicolor patterns are unsolved, there will be no breakdown, the wrong side will be smooth, and the canvas will be more dense than the canvas signed on the same phonet. Two-reinforcement knitting machines have high technological capabilities, since in addition to single, double weaves are produced: eraser (rubber band), fang, semi-infang, and zigzag weaves, formed due to a shear of one of the needleers, jacquard and all sorts of combination interlacing.

How to choose a knitting machine?

The thickness of the finished canvase depends on the selected threads. The things associated with the same machine have a facial and back side. When creating ornaments on the outstanding of products, spent threads remain, spoiling appearance and capable of negatively affecting quality. Two needle numbers have two needles. Their advantage is a design consisting of an appliance and auxiliary console, expanding functionality - volumetric mating, two-chain products, double weave, etc. When creating a multi-colored pattern of a smooth, dense and attractive.
  • The principle of applying the ornament. The devices are divided into perfral, manual and electronic. The feature of the first is the creation of an ornament by means of stencils.

Manual devices involve self-applying pattern using a mechanical control system with a minimum automation.
  • Class. The class determines the thickness of the threads used in the thread process. The lower the class, the thicker should be yarn. The most relevant users of the 3rd machine (100-200 m / 100 g), 5th (300-500 m / 100 g) and 7th (500-600 m / 100 g) classes. The most universal, according to experts, are the appliances of the 5th grade.
