Double Knitting Machine — YSFN Series Circular Knitting Machines

A full range of models across four process platforms — plain single jersey, double jersey (interlock/rib), jacquard and fancy-yarn colour change — all built on one core platform: oil-bath V raceway, ceramic yarn guides and the in-house vertical colour-change head.

YSFN Series Circular Knitting Machines

The YSFN series covers the full range of circular knitting machine types used by modern knitting mills. Every model shares the same core platform — an oil-bath V-shaped raceway for smooth high-speed running, ceramic yarn feeders for extended service life, and a self-developed vertical colour-change head that adjusts at multiple angles and flips sideways without dismantling.

Core Platform — Shared Across the Whole Series

  • Oil-bath V-shaped raceway: both upper and lower gear sets run in an oil bath with a V-shaped raceway, so the machine stays smooth and stable even at high speed
  • Ceramic yarn feeders: ceramic yarn guides deliver a markedly longer service life than conventional steel feeders
  • In-house vertical colour-change head: multi-angle adjustment and side-flip without dismantling, for fast pattern and colour changeover
  • Suspended yarn guides: hanging yarn-guide design avoids friction between needle and yarn guide
  • Reverse-buckle cam-box triangle: unique cam-box triangle design, easy to clean and quick to set up
  • Three-function electromagnetic needle selector: non-heating electromagnet solves heat build-up during long production runs
  • Elastane (spandex) unit: feeds elastane directly from the guide roller into the designated knitting zone
  • Touch-screen control: microprocessor controller with LCD touch panel on jacquard and fancy-yarn models

Four Process Platforms

  • Single-jersey family — plain single-bed machines without jacquard or fancy yarn, for standard jersey and fleece (sweatshirt) fabrics
  • Double-jersey family — two-bed machines able to switch between rib and interlock structures on the same machine
  • Jacquard family — jacquard cam-box and needle selection for large patterns, inlay and mesh fabrics
  • Fancy-yarn family — vertical colour-change head for fancy yarn and striped fabrics

Fabrics & Applications

From basic single jersey to jacquard, inlay, mesh and colour-yarn striped fabrics, the YSFN series serves knitwear mills, sportswear and activewear producers, seamless underwear manufacturers and home-textile factories.

  • Single jersey — plain knit fabrics for T-shirts and underwear
  • Rib and interlock — double-knit structures for collars, cuffs and body panels
  • Fleece and sweatshirt — loop-back fabrics for casual and sports wear
  • Jacquard inlay — large-pattern and flying-line (inlay) fabrics
  • Seamless underwear and sports / active wear fabrics

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a double knitting machine?

A double knitting machine (double-jersey or interlock circular knitting machine) has two needle beds — a cylinder and a dial — so it can produce double-sided structures such as rib and interlock. A single-jersey machine has one needle bed and produces single-face fabrics such as plain jersey and fleece.

Which gauge and diameter should I choose?

Gauge (16G–36G) is chosen by the yarn count and the fabric weight you need — finer yarns run on higher gauges. Diameter (26–38 inch) sets the fabric tube width, and the feeder count sets output per revolution. Send us your fabric sample or specification and our engineering team will recommend the configuration.

Can one machine knit both rib and interlock?

Yes. The double-jersey models (YSFN-D series) can be switched between rib and interlock structures on the same machine, which reduces the number of machines a mill needs to buy.

Do you supply custom diameters, gauges and feeder counts?

Yes. All YSFN models can be configured with different diameters, gauges and feeder counts. Optional devices add inlay (flying-line) jacquard and mesh / lace fabric capability. Contact us for a tailored specification and quotation.

What after-sales support is provided?

Every machine is inspected and tested before shipment. We provide installation guidance, operator training, spare-parts supply and remote technical support worldwide.
