34-inch 108-feeder double-jersey series

Published specifications

Values below come from the maintained catalogue record. The guide review date does not renew an earlier specification: read the dated source notes and confirm a current, matched configuration before comparing products.

The entry title gives two numbers: a 34-inch diameter and 108 feeders. The photograph shows a Hongjun-branded double-jersey machine. No table of gauge, speed or power sits behind the picture, and the entry has no model code of its own, so this page uses the descriptive series name.

Treat the diameter as the size class of the cylinder. Finished fabric width depends on gauge, yarn, structure and how the cloth is relaxed or finished afterwards. The feeder count is a design figure; actual output on your cloth comes from the speed you can hold, the stops and the share of good fabric.

Hongjun is the maker, and its other circular knitters for single jersey, jacquard and open width are listed on the company page. Ask for a matching specification sheet before you put this machine beside any other offer. [1] [2] [3]

Hongjun shows a double-jersey open-width machine and a double-jersey machine with computerised selection on the upper and lower needles as their own entries. If your plan needs a flat roll, electronic jacquard or another patterning setup, name it in the enquiry and ask Hongjun to quote the machine that includes it.

Keep each feature tied to the entry that lists it. A quote for the 34-inch, 108-feeder machine should state in plain words whether open-width take-down or electronic selection is part of the supply, and what any extra control or software costs. [2] [3]

Send a reference fabric you are free to share, or a construction and yarn sheet. The table splits the enquiry into six topics. Each row lists your input and the answer to ask Hongjun for in return. Leave a row open until the reply arrives. [1]

A good demonstration on your own yarn ends with cloth you can lay next to your reference. Agree first whether that cloth is judged greige, after relaxing, after washing or after a named finishing step, and judge both pieces in the same state.

1. Fix the reference

   Label the reference swatch and note its structure, yarn, weight, width and pattern. Agree the sample size and how it will be prepared.

2. Note the machine as run

   Record the model offered, the 34-inch and 108-feeder build, gauge, cam or selection layout, feeders, take-down and the settings used on the day.

3. Measure the cloth

   Check weight and width with an agreed method and inspect for holes, stripes and pattern faults. Add other fabric tests only if your product needs them.

4. Count good fabric

   Keep run time, speed, stops, operator actions, rejects and good cloth on one sheet. A short burst at top speed says little about a full shift.

5. Close out before shipment

   Keep the samples and results, list open faults and agree any repeat run. Check that the machine shipped has the same setup and options as the one that passed.

Two suppliers can both quote 34 inches and 108 feeders and still ship different machines. Gauge, selection system, yarn feeders, take-down, controls, accessories and paperwork all vary. Send every supplier the same fabric brief and compare configurations line by line, with inclusions, options and exclusions listed.

Ask for price, lead time, power schedule, footprint, warranty and expected output in the offer itself. Price the machine apart from installation, commissioning, operator training, spare parts and any dyeing and finishing done after knitting.

Request the model identification, operating and maintenance manuals with their safety instructions, the setup record and part numbers for replacement needles and other wear parts on the machine you buy. [1]
