ADDRESS
A circular knitting machine is a type of textile manufacturing equipment used to produce tubular knitted fabrics through continuous loop formation. Unlike flat knitting machines, circular knitting machines arrange needles in a circular formation, allowing yarns to be continuously knitted into seamless fabric tubes with high production efficiency.
Circular knitting machines are widely used in the textile industry for manufacturing various knitted fabrics, including single jersey, double jersey, rib, interlock, and jacquard fabrics. These fabrics are commonly applied in apparel, sportswear, underwear, casual wear, home textiles, and other textile products.
Versatile Solutions for Producing High-Quality Knitted Fabrics Across Various Industries
Circular knitting machines are widely used for producing high-quality knitted fabrics for daily apparel, including T-shirts, casual wear, dresses, and fashion garments. The machines provide excellent fabric elasticity, softness, and comfort to meet different clothing requirements.
With the ability to produce breathable and stretchable fabrics, circular knitting machines are ideal for manufacturing sportswear and activewear materials. The knitted fabrics offer good flexibility, moisture management, and wearing comfort for various sports applications.
Circular knitting machines are commonly applied in underwear and home textile production due to their ability to create soft, lightweight, and skin-friendly fabrics. They are suitable for producing fabrics used in underwear, pajamas, bedding, and other textile products.
Beyond traditional clothing applications, circular knitting machines can also be used for producing functional and industrial knitted fabrics. With different machine configurations, they can support applications requiring durability, flexibility, and special fabric performance.

What is a circular knitting machine?
A circular knitting machine is an industrial textile machine that uses circularly arranged needles to produce tubular knitted fabrics. It is widely used for manufacturing fabrics such as jersey, rib, interlock, mesh, and other knitted materials for apparel, sportswear, underwear, and technical textiles.
What types of circular knitting machines do you offer?
WELLKNIT offers different types of circular knitting machines, including single jersey circular knitting machines, double jersey circular knitting machines, rib knitting machines, and customized circular knitting solutions. Each machine is designed for different fabric structures, production requirements, and applications.
What fabrics can be produced by circular knitting machines?
Circular knitting machines can produce a wide range of knitted fabrics, including single jersey, double jersey, rib, interlock, mesh, fleece, and elastic fabrics. These fabrics are commonly used in sportswear, T-shirts, underwear, casual clothing, home textiles, and other textile applications.
How does a circular knitting machine work?
A circular knitting machine works by using multiple needles arranged in a circular cylinder to form continuous loops of yarn. During operation, the needles move up and down to interlock yarns into knitted fabrics, allowing manufacturers to achieve high-speed and continuous fabric production.
How do I choose the right circular knitting machine for my production?
Choosing the right circular knitting machine depends on factors such as fabric type, production volume, yarn material, machine gauge, cylinder diameter, and required fabric performance. WELLKNIT can help customers select the most suitable machine configuration according to their specific manufacturing needs.
How much does a circular knitting machine cost?
The price of a circular knitting machine depends on factors including machine type, diameter, gauge, number of feeders, production speed, automation level, and customization requirements. WELLKNIT provides customized quotations based on customers’ production goals and technical requirements.
What is the difference between single jersey and double jersey circular knitting machines?
Single jersey circular knitting machines are mainly used to produce lightweight and flexible fabrics with a smooth surface, such as T-shirt and sportswear fabrics. Double jersey circular knitting machines use two needle systems to create thicker and more stable fabrics, commonly used for rib, interlock, and premium textile applications.
WELLKNIT was founded in Taiwan since 1987, and in 1995, we set up the production base in Quanzhou, Fujian, is the first Taiwan-funded weft knitting machine manufacturer to take root in Quanzhou.
