Weft knitting math
• Motor rpm = 1430
• Diameter of motor pulley = 2”
• Diameter of intermediate pulley -1 = 11”
• Diameter of intermediate pulley -2 = 2.5”
• Diameter of machine pulley = 10”
• No. of teeth of bevel gear = 50
• No. of teeth of cylinder wheel = 200
• Cylinder RPM
= Motor RPM x (2/11) x (2.5/10) x (50/200)
= 1430 x (2/11) x (2.5/10) x (50/200)
= 16.25
Production calculation

• CPM
Theory = —————-
CPI
• CPM = Course Per minute
CPI = Course Per Inch
• CPM = Cylinder RPM x No of Feeder
• Cylinder RPM
= Motor RPM x (2/11) x (2.5/10) x
(50/200)
= 1430 x (2/11) x (2.5/10) x (50/200)
= 16.25
Production calculation
• CPM = 16.25*24 = 390
• Suppose CPI = 28
• Production = 390/28 inch/min
= (390 x 60 x 8 x 0.91)/(28 x 36) meter/shift
= 169 meter/shift
• For double jersey = 169/2 = 84.5 meter/shift

Warp knitting math
• Rack :
• A rack is unit of production in warp knitting.
• A rack is 480 courses.
• Run-in :
• The length of yarn consumed during 1 rack.
• Quality :
• The length of cloth knitted during 1 rack.
Warp knitting math

• Question : A 168 inch , 28G tricot m/c is operating at 800


courses per minute on a 2 bar m/c. the warp is 70 denier nylon
in both bars. The width of the fabric is 144 inches. The quality is
8 inches per rack & back bar run-in is 64 inches & front bar run-
in 80 inches. Calculate the following:
• 1) Wt in lb/rack = ?
• 2) Rack/hr =?
• 3) Wales per inch =?
• 4) Course per inch= ?
• 5) lb/hr =?
• 6) Run in ratio = ?
Warp knitting math
• Given that,
• M/C width = 168
• Fabric width = 144"
• M/C gauge = 28 npi
• Quality = 8" [Fabric length] per rack
• Back bar run in = 64" (yarn length)
• Front bar run in = 80"
• Courses per min or rpm = 800
• Denier = 70D nylon
Warp knitting math
• (1) Weight of yarn in lb/rack

• = (Front bar lb/rack yarn wt) + (Back bar lb/rack)


80 x ( 168 x 28 ) x 70 64 x ( 168 x 28 ) x 70
= +
39.37 x 9000 x 453.6 39.37 x 9000 x 453.6

= 0.295 lb / rack

• 2) Rack per hour
800 × 60

• 3) Wales per inch
Total wales 28 × 168

5) Production
= (Racks / hour ) × weight per rack
= 100 × 0.295
= 29.5 lbs / hr
