• Quote the full version title from Lizhu's index, such as 7G/10G ordinary, so every offer you compare is for the same build.

Lizhu uses the name LZ-8400 for a whole family of overlockers. Its product index gives each version its own Chinese title, sorted by glove gauge, by whether a label is sewn in, and by the material or thickness of the cuff. Quotes for two machines both called LZ-8400 may describe quite different builds.

Start with your glove. Gauge is the first filter, so check it against the knitting machine gauge your gloves come from. Then decide whether a label goes into the cuff. Ask Lizhu which version it proposes, and whether moving between versions takes different guides, fixtures or adjustments. [2]

The 7G/10G ordinary version is the LZ-8400 with the most complete public sheet. Lizhu gives a hem of 3–6 mm, a sewing speed of 4,500–5,000 rpm, compressed air at 5–6 bar and a 550 W motor on single- or three-phase supply at 50/60 Hz. It advertises 60 dozens/hour.

The sheet lists 80 kg net, 121 kg gross and a box of 1,350 × 600 × 1,180 millimetres. The 13G/15G/18G label version carries its own output and weight figures, so ask for the sheet of the version you buy. The full table, with notes on each figure, is on the LZ-8400 7G/10G equipment page.

One detail matters if your cuffs carry labels. The web table for the ordinary version has a label-size row, but its illustrated sheet leaves that row out, and Lizhu sells separate label versions. Ask Lizhu in writing whether any label equipment ships with the ordinary machine. [3] [4]

Lizhu's introduction describes the LZ-DJQ as a glove knotter and eight-colour automatic change device, and the product index lists an eight-colour unit on its own. It works on the knitting side, where yarn colours are switched, so it is a separate purchase from a cuff overlocker.

Tell Lizhu which glove knitting machines you run, the yarns you use and the colour sequence you need. Ask which device it would supply, how it connects to your machines and controls, who installs it, and how long a yarn change takes in a demonstration. Ask for compatibility with your exact host machine in writing, because the public entry gives no list of supported machines and no changeover rate. [1] [5]

Send Lizhu gloves that cover the sizes, yarns and cuff builds you sell, with labels attached where you use them. A trial with your own gloves tells you more than the gauge on a data sheet, because layer count and cuff stretch change how the edge forms.

1. Set the reference glove

   Write down the gauge, yarn, layer count, cuff size, the edge look you want and any label position. Both sides keep a signed sample.

2. Name the build

   Record the LZ-8400 version, the guides and fixtures fitted and the thread Lizhu chose, plus any change made between sizes.

3. Judge the edge

   Check the overlock covers the edge evenly, the seam runs without gaps, nothing puckers and the cuff still opens and stretches as it should. Inspect labels on their own.

4. Count good gloves

   Time the run and note loading, stops, rejects and rework. Agree before the run whether a dozen means twelve single gloves or twelve pairs, so the 60 dozens/hour claim can be compared fairly.

5. Keep the settings

   File the approved gloves with the machine settings, and make the delivered tooling and operator training match them.

Lizhu's company history says it started in Shaoxing in 2018. Its website gives an address on Yinxing Road in Yuecheng and presents the company as a maker of intelligent glove auxiliary equipment with a sales and service network. Ask which service point would cover your country and how quickly it responds.

Chinese application CN114753053A names Shaoxing Lizhu Machinery as applicant. It was filed on 17 May 2022 and published on 15 July 2022. It covers a multi-colour switching device for glove machines, with mechanisms that select, cut and join yarn, and the cover carries the same Yinxing Road address.

An application shows what the company was developing in 2022. It says nothing about whether a patent was later granted or whether this mechanism is in the device you buy. The guide to Chinese patent records explains how to check status. Lizhu's website also mentions patents and CE marking in general terms, so ask for the documents that name your model. [1] [6]

For an overlocker, ask for the voltage and phase of your unit, how much compressed air it uses and what air quality it needs, plus a floor layout with room for loading and maintenance. The 5–6 bar figure tells you pressure, not volume, and the box size tells you about freight, not the working area. Ask Lizhu what you must supply yourself.

For either machine, get an itemised offer covering tooling, controls, accessories, manuals, installation, training and acceptance work. Agree price, lead time, warranty, spare parts and service response for your country in writing. If you also buy knitting machines, see other knitting equipment on the site and line up the competing configurations before you commit. [1] [3]
