Precision Fabric Sample Knitting for Yarn Uniformity & Dyeing Affinity Assessment
A professional laboratory circular knitting machine engineered for textile dyeing and quality control laboratories
The AT250F Series Lab Knitting Machine is specially designed to knit fabric samples of POY, DTY, or FDY yarns for the assessment of yarn uniformity and dyeing affinity. It is applicable to various filaments ranging from 25 to 1000 dtex, making it an ideal equipment for dyeing test in knitting factories and textile research laboratories.
Available in two models — the AT250F-I (fixed-speed with LED display) and the AT250F-II (high-speed with adjustable running speed up to 300 rpm and filament storage device) — the AT250F series provides flexible solutions to meet different laboratory requirements. The standard needle cylinder comes with 240 needles, with optional cylinders ranging from 144 to 300 needles to accommodate various filament fineness levels.
Widely used in synthetic fiber manufacturers, dyeing and finishing factories, textile research institutes, and quality inspection centers, the AT250F delivers consistent, reliable fabric samples essential for accurate dyeing evaluation and yarn quality assessment.
