Here is a technical guide on evaluating key parameters before purchasing your next industrial circular knitting machine.

Key Specifications Explained
1. Machine Diameter (Inches) & Gauge (GG)
Diameter (e.g., 30″, 34″, 38″): Determines the width of the tubular knitted fabric.

Gauge (e.g., 18G, 24G, 28G, 32G, 40G): Indicates the number of needles per inch.

18G–24G: Ideal for medium-to-heavy cottons, fleece, and casual wear.

28G–40G: Crucial for high-density, fine-gauge fabrics like activewear, swimwear, and seamless underwear.

2. Number of Feeders (F)
The number of feeders determines production speed per rotation. EASTINO machines utilize optimized feeder ratios (e.g., 3 or 4 feeders per inch of diameter) to maximize output while maintaining smooth tension control.

3. Drive & Inverter System
EASTINO machines are equipped with energy-efficient AC inverter drives, soft-start electronics, and multi-stop sensors to instantly halt production during yarn breakage or needle damage, keeping defect rates near zero.
