How a Circular Knitting Machine Works
The fundamental working principle of a circular knitting machine involves hundreds of needles rotating continuously within a circular cylinder, creating tubular fabric from yarn. Each needle is controlled by cam tracks and operates in three key positions: Knit (catching yarn to form a loop), Tuck (adding new yarn to the previous loop), and Miss (passing without catching yarn).
Cylinder Diameter & Fabric Width
The cylinder diameter directly determines the circumference of the fabric tube. A 30" diameter cylinder produces approximately 60" (150 cm) circumference fabric, yielding 60" width when cut open. Most Bangladeshi knitting mills use machines with 30" to 38" diameter cylinders.
Circular Knitting Machine Demand in Bangladesh
Bangladesh imports thousands of circular knitting machines annually. The highest concentration of knitting mills is in the Narayanganj and Gazipur regions. Over 80% of national RMG export volume depends directly on these machines. As an established circular knitting machine importer in Bangladesh, Tasneem Knit Industry imports PSI-verified machines directly from top Chinese manufacturers.
