A Knitting Unit is a textile production facility where yarn is converted into knitted fabric using circular knitting or warp knitting machines. Knitting units are the starting point for many garment factories, especially those producing:
T-shirts
Leggings
Kidswear
Sportswear
Innerwear
Sweaters
Hosiery products
Knitted fabric is known for stretch, comfort, flexibility, and softness, making knitting units essential for modern apparel manufacturing.
Building Requirements for Knitting Units
Knitting machines operate continuously and require a well-designed building for efficiency.
✔ High Roof Height (8m–12m)
For machine ventilation and heat dissipation.
✔ Strong Flooring
Machines are heavy; flooring must reduce vibration.
✔ Temperature & Humidity Control
Essential for:
Yarn stability
Reduced yarn breakage
Smooth knitting
✔ Good Ventilation
Heat from machines must be removed using:
Exhaust fans
Ridge ventilators
Fresh air louvers
✔ Dust-Free Environment
Reduces contamination of fabric.
✔ Separate Yarn Store
Cool, dry, moisture-controlled room for yarn cones.
