Zhiyi Machinery

• Flat-knitting, jacquard glove-knitting and high-speed glove machines
• SF-03, SF-06 and ZYQX-01 named on the homepage
• Workshop information system offered alongside the machines

Zhiyi describes itself as a developer, maker and servicer of knitting machines. Its focus is one-piece knitted articles, and gloves are the example it returns to most. The range takes in intelligent flat-knitting machines, jacquard glove-knitting machines and high-speed glove machines, all part of the wider knitting machinery field covered on this site.

The homepage lists the SF-03, the SF-06 and the ZYQX-01 by name. Only the ZYQX-01 comes with a full data page, so its figures belong to that model alone. Ask for a separate data sheet for an SF model before you set it against any other machine.

Application photos show gloves for labour protection. A cut, heat or medical rating comes from the finished glove, its yarn and its coating, so plan that test on its own for the product you sell. Also tell Zhiyi which steps follow knitting, such as linking, trimming or washing, so the quote states what the machine does and what stays with your line. [1] [2]

The ZYQX-01 flat knitting machine is the model Zhiyi documents most fully. The table pulls its main entries together and pairs each one with the decision it feeds. Our gauge guide for flat, glove and sock machines explains how needle spacing relates to yarn and fabric weight. [2]

On the controller side, Zhiyi lists an LCD touch screen, program transfer by USB or network, expansion memory written as 1G, and several interface languages. The machine also monitors density and other working parameters. Ask which controller and software version ship with your unit, and which file format the design system exports.

Programming is where many first orders slow down. Have Zhiyi build the program for your own article while you watch: carriers assigned, density and take-down set, transfers and racking checked, a sample knitted and corrected, and the final version saved. That tells you how much skill your operator will need.

Zhiyi offers software upgrades free of charge. Get the licence terms, the versions covered, the support period, remote help and backup steps into the contract. If you also want its workshop information system, scope it as a separate project with its own interfaces and its own acceptance test. [1] [2]

Nothing settles a shaped-article machine as well as a trial with your own material. These steps keep the result comparable when you talk to more than one supplier. [2]

1. Fix the article

   Note geometry, stitch structures, colour areas, yarn, finishing and tolerances before anything is knitted.

2. Match the machine

   Name the gauge, needle set-up, carriers, intarsia device and software version on the quote.

3. Knit the hard parts

   Run the transfers, racking, narrowing and colour changes; look for dropped stitches, holes, floats and size drift.

4. Repeat the program

   Save the settings and measure several pieces after the agreed relaxing or finishing step.

5. Count good pieces

   Record stops, yarn changes, rejects and any hand work after knitting, then count only pieces that pass.

6. Stop and restart

   Interrupt the run the way the manual allows and inspect the piece made after the restart.

The ZYQX-01 page gives the supply two ways. The Chinese line says single-phase 220 V, and the English line next to it adds three-phase 380 V. Get the nameplate data and wiring drawing for your unit before you plan the electrical supply.

You will also need the rated current, frequency, earthing needs, weight, installed size and clearances. Floor space is a separate question from the 52-inch knitting width.

Zhiyi advertises installation and operator teaching. Settle who installs, who writes the first production program and who trains your staff, and what each of those costs at your site. Ask for the spare needle and wear-part list, the fault-support route and the warranty terms in the same offer. [1] [2] [4]

Zhiyi's contact page places the factory at 285 Lijiang Road in Qixing, Xinchang. Put the contracting company and the shipping and service address on the quotation, so the paperwork matches the factory you deal with.

The ShanghaiTex 2025 exhibitor list shows 浙江智乙机械有限公司 in Hall N3 at booth N3A27. That ties the legal name to a dated public listing. It says nothing about current capacity or any particular machine.

Zhiyi's introduction calls the company a high-tech enterprise with patent technology, and the homepage mentions ISO9001. Ask for current certificate copies showing number, scope and expiry. A patent search by company name shows what the filings actually cover. For a wider set of papers to request, see how to read a manufacturer profile. [1] [3] [4]
