Single Reverse Plated Loop Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine

Innovative Knitting for Fashion, Function, and Versatility

Introduction

The Single Reverse Plated Loop Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine is a cutting-edge innovation in the world of circular knitting. It’s a specialized version of the single jersey machine designed to create reverse plated effects—a technique where two different yarns are knitted so that one appears on the back and the other on the face, but in reverse loop structure.

This machine brings not only aesthetic versatility to fabrics but also functional benefits like improved durability, moisture management, and style variety—making it a game-changer in modern knitwear manufacturing.

Working Principle

This machine operates on the principle of plating—a method where two yarns are fed simultaneously but controlled separately. In a reverse plated loop, the yarn that would usually appear on the fabric face is switched to the back loop, and vice versa.

Key to this machine’s operation are:

·         Dual yarn feeders per needle

·         Precise yarn path control to ensure reverse plating

·         Special cam and sinker arrangements

·         High-speed circular motion for seamless production

Technical Features

·         Cylinder Diameter: Typically ranges from 26” to 34”

·         Gauge: 18G to 32G (varies by product need)

·         Feeders: Up to 90 feeders depending on the diameter

·         Plating Capability: True reverse plating through specialized sinker systems

·         Take-Down System: Advanced tension control ensures uniform loop structure

·         Yarn Types: Can handle cotton, polyester, viscose, spandex blends, etc.

Types of Fabrics Produced

·         Double-tone sportswear fabrics

·         Fashion garments with reverse color effect

·         Thermal wear (inner and outer layer with distinct properties)

·         Functional textiles with performance yarns (e.g., antibacterial outside, soft cotton inside)

Applications

·         Athleisure and Sportswear: For moisture-wicking back and stylish outer surface.

·         Fashion Industry: Contrasting color effects without post-process dyeing.

·         Thermal Clothing: Warmth on one side and soft skin contact on the other.

·         Functional & Technical Wear: Smart textiles with outside-in fiber engineering.

Advantages

ü  Color Versatility: Two-color effects without printing or dyeing

ü  Functional Layering: Different yarns provide dual properties in one fabric

ü  Enhanced Comfort: Controlled yarn orientation for skin-friendly surface

ü  Cost Efficiency: No post-processing needed for dual-tone effect

ü  Seamless Production: Circular knitting efficiency with plating precision

Conclusion

The Single Reverse Plated Loop Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine stands as a powerful solution for manufacturers looking to blend functionality, style, and efficiency. It supports the dynamic demands of today’s fashion and activewear industries by delivering versatile, high-quality fabrics with a unique visual and tactile identity.

Whether you’re designing trendy tees, thermal base layers, or technical garments—this machine has you plated and ready!
