High-speed, precision-engineered double jersey jacquard circular knitting machines play a pivotal role in modern industrial textile production. Operating with two needle beds (cylinder and dial) situated perpendicularly to one another, these versatile industrial circular knitting machines enable factories to produce complex, dual-faced structured fabrics, heavy double-knit Jacquard patterns, multi-layered mattress ticking, and technical textiles with exceptional dimension and elasticity.
Choosing the right machinery configuration directly impacts throughput, fabric quality, and operational cost efficiency. This guide covers technical parameters, configuration selection, and operational specifications for B2B buyers and textile mill managers.
Technical Specifications Overview
Standard double jersey computerized jacquard machines range from standard gauge options for home textiles to fine gauges for fashion garments. Below are the key engineering specifications across core machine setups:
| Specification Parameter | Standard Double Jacquard (EDCJ) | Double Jersey Rib Transfer Jacquard | Interlock / Links-Links Jacquard (DH-DT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cylinder Diameter | 26" – 38" (up to 44" custom) | 26" – 38" | 30" – 38" |
| Needle Gauge (G) | 16G – 28G (Fine gauge up to 50G) | 12G – 24G | 7G – 19G |
| Feeders (F) | 52F – 84F | 42F – 60F | 18F – 32F |
| Operating Speed | 12 – 20 R.P.M. | 14 – 20 R.P.M. | 12 – 18 R.P.M. |
| Motor Power | 4.0 kW – 5.5 kW (380V/50Hz) | 5.5 kW (6-pole) | 5.5 kW |
| Needle Selection | 2-Way / 3-Way Actuators | 3-Way (16-selector or AB-blade) | 2-Way / 3-Way Actuators |
| Yarn Feeder Type | Electronic / Storage Feeders | Positive / Electronic Feeders | Positive / Striping Feeders |
Key Machine Configurations & Commercial Applications
| Machine Type | Commercial Applications |
|---|---|
| Standard EDCJ (Double Jacquard) | Mattress Ticking; Outerwear & Suiting; Technical Fabrics |
| Rib Transfer Jacquard | Eyelet Mesh Pattern; Sculpted Underwear; High-Elasticity Knits |
| Links-Links (DH-DT Series) | Double Face Fabric; Heavy Textiles; Upholstery / Covers |
The table below summarizes the three main configurations for quick comparison:
1. Computerized Double Jersey Jacquard Machine (EDCJ)
Equipped with electronic piezo or solenoid needle selectors on the cylinder, this setup allows precise individual needle selection (Knit, Tuck, Miss) per feeder.
- Primary Uses: High-end apparel, sportswear, double-knit suiting, mattress ticking, and structured geometric fabrics.
- Key Components: Toshiba or INVT 5.5kW inverters, Mainstar/Baoyuan digital control panels, Groz-Beckert needles, and MEMMINGER-IRO / SUN electronic storage feeders.
2. Double Jersey Rib Transfer Jacquard Machine
Combines rib structure knitting with needle-transfer mechanisms to create eyelet effects, openwork meshes, and sculpted surface textures alongside double-faced patterning.
- Primary Uses: Breathable functional wear, thermal underwear, summer footwear uppers, and decorative upholstery.
- Selection Note: Requires specialized 16-actuator selector systems or dual-blade (AB) 8-actuator systems to smoothly execute simultaneous loop transfers and pattern selection.
3. Double Needle Cylinder Jacquard Machine (Links-Links / DH-DT Series)
Utilizes two vertically opposed needle cylinders equipped with double-headed needles.
- Primary Uses: Heavyweight fabrics, purl stitch textures, high-grade jacquard blankets, and premium double-faced home textiles.
- Configuration Detail: Utilizes specialized double-ended needles (e.g., LINKS 36.70) and dual-section center blowing shafts to manage lint accumulation in heavy-yarn production.
Essential Components for Mill Efficiency
To ensure stable 24/7 high-speed production and minimal defect rates, industrial buyers should verify the following ancillary systems during machine customization:
Yarn Feeding & Creel Systems
- Positive Yarn Feeders: SUN (DPF series), SAMEGEAR (APF20/BPF20), or MEMMINGER-IRO feeders ensure consistent yarn tension, minimizing drop stitches and lycra breakage.
- Aluminum Tube Creels: Closed or open aluminum tube creels (8-cone or 9-cone positions) protect spun yarn or cotton filaments from ambient dust and cross-contamination.
Fabric Take-Down & Rolling Mechanisms
- 136-Shift Gearbox Take-Down: Provides micro-adjustable pulling tension across 120–136 gear shifts to prevent fabric distortion.
- Open-Width Slitting Take-Down: Essential for elastomeric (spandex-blended) double-knit fabrics to eliminate center creasing during rolling.
Lubrication & Cleaning
- Automatic Force Lubricators: Programmable oilers (e.g., Taiwan Sheng Song, Pulsonic, MEMMINGER) deliver timed lubrication directly to needle tracks, sinkers, and slider jacks to lower operating temperatures and prolong needle life.
- Anti-Dust Blowers: Top-mounted 3-head or 4-head revolving dust fans combined with central dual-direction air blowers clear lint from yarn paths, preventing slubs and machine jams.
Procurement Checklist for Buyers
When requesting a quotation or customizing a double jersey jacquard circular knitting machine, prepare the following parameters:
- Target Fabric Specifications: Fabric weight (g/m²), elasticity requirement, raw material composition (e.g., polyester filament, cotton, spandex blend).
- Cylinder Diameter & Feeder Ratio: Standard 30" 72F or 34" 84F setups offer high output, whereas 38" or custom 44" models serve wide-width home textile production.
- Actuator Workstation Type: Choose between 2-Way (Knit/Miss) for cost-effective standard patterning or 3-Way (Knit/Tuck/Miss) for maximum design flexibility and complex relief knits.
- Local Electrical Requirements: Specify working voltage and frequency (e.g., 380V/50Hz or 220V/60Hz) to match inverter and main drive motor configurations.
