Hang-up Jersey machine
This particular machine was used popularly from 1870 to 1960. After that, the machine was replaced by modernized jersey machine which is used now. This machine's production was discontinued and no factory makes any parts or machine. Our mill is one of the few factories currently use this machine.
They posses of 200 machines. The machine production speed is about 1/30 comparing to modern jersey machine. The machine is made not to pull, no tension during production, when modern machine put a lot of tension during production because of their speed.
Moreover, modern machine rolls the fabric right after knitting, which will cause extra tension again. This machine doesn't roll fabric. It just let the fabric drop as gravity. Due to this "non-tension" production process, yarn will keep its softness and fullness in form of fabric. So, fabric will more bulky
and keep its form for a long time of period, comparing to modern jersey machine. No need to mention, there are only few craftsmen to operate this machine since this machine require a lot of precise handwork as well as knowledge of machine.
