For OEM circular knitting machines, how to configure gauge, feeders and yarn fingers to balance fabric weight and output?
• Gauge E24-E28 suits single jersey 120-220 g/m²; E20 and below for fleece or coarse knits.
• More feeders raise output, but yarn tension consistency per feeder must be ≤±3%.
• In OEM, specify cylinder diameter-to-feeder ratio; 30-inch with 96 feeders is an efficient setup.
• Yarn finger angle and ceramic guides must match yarn count to prevent hairiness and yarn breakage.
• Require OEM trial fabric; weight deviation ≤±5%, courses and wales match sealed sample.
