Experiment No: 05 Date:16th June 2014

Experiment Name: Production Calculation of s/j circular knitting m/c.

Some production related Equation:

Total Length of the Fabric,

L=Mac hine speed∈R . P .M ×Noof feeder× Efficiency×60Noof feed system per course×course per cm×100 (m/hr)

Total width of the fabric,

WB= π ×Dia×GaugeWales per cm×100

m

Production Capacity,

P= L×WB×GSM1000 kg/hr

Parameter of our Lab circular knitting m/c:

1.Machine diameter = 23” 6.Course density = 17 course per cm

2.Machine gauge = 24 7.Wales density = 13 wales per cm

3.Machine speed = 35 R.P.M 8.Fabric weight = 160 gsm

4.No of feeder = 68 9.Fabric Construction = Plain Single Jersey

5.Efficiency = 75%

Calculation of total production capacity of our Lab s/j knitting m/c

Total Length of the Fabric,

L=Mac hine speed∈R . P .M ×Noof feeder× Efficiency×60Noof feed system per course×course per cm×100 (m/hr)

¿ 35×68×0.75×601×17×100

¿63m /hr

Total width of the fabric,

WB= π ×Dia×GaugeWales per cm×100

m

¿ 3.1416×23×2413×100

¿1.33m

Production Capacity,

P= L×WB×GSM1000 kg/hr

¿ 63×1.33×1601000

¿13.40kg /hr

¿107.2kg/ sh ift

∴Total production capacity of t hismac h ine is107.2kg per sh ift .
