Spare Parts for Sock and Hosiery Factories
Small diameter machines running at high speed, where needle consumption is high and every stop costs output.
Where It Hurts
- High needle consumption and the cost that goes with it
- Frequent stops from latch and hook failures at speed
- Second quality that is only found at inspection, after the machine has run on
- Lead times on needles for older machine models
What You Need From a Parts Supplier
- Needles matched to machine model rather than gauge alone
- Repeatable supply so the stitch does not change between deliveries
- Detection parts that stop a machine at the fault
Part Groups That Matter Most
Typical Application Scenarios
- Standing order for sock machine needles against monthly consumption
- Restoring stop motion circuits on older machines
- Fitting metered lubrication in place of hand oiling

Can we order needles on a standing schedule?
Tell us your machine models and monthly consumption and we will quote against that. Ordering the same reference each time is what keeps the stitch consistent.
Why do needles fail faster on sock machines?
Small cylinders at high speed means far more cycles per needle per day than on a fabric machine, so both hook and latch see more work.
