Circular Knitting Machine Cost FAQs
How much does a circular knitting machine cost?
Brand-new industrial circular knitting machines cost between $18,000 and $48,000 CFR Chattogram. Single jersey lines cost $18,000–$26,000, double jersey interlock models cost $22,000–$34,000, and open-width slitter lines cost $24,000–$36,000.
Is investing in an open-width slitting machine worth the extra cost?
Yes. While an open-width model carries a $3,000–$4,500 premium over a tubular winder, it completely eliminates permanent side crease lines in Lycra cotton, saving 3%–5% fabric scrap waste ($120–$180 daily on export floors).
What is the return on investment (ROI) timeframe for circular knitting?
Operating continuously at 450–500 kg/day output on commercial knitting charges, net operating earnings typically recover the full capital machine cost in 14 to 18 months.
