Product Overview

Yarn Carrier for Circular Knitting Machines (Item 3) is listed in our yarn carriers group for circular knitting machine maintenance. Yarn carriers and feeder fingers that present the yarn to the needle hook at the correct height and angle.

What This Part Does

The yarn carrier is the last thing the yarn touches before the needle takes it. Its height above the needle bed and its position relative to the needle line decide whether the hook picks up cleanly, so a bent or worn carrier shows up straight away as dropped stitches at one feeder only.

Key Benefits

Restores clean yarn presentation at a single feeder position
Forms matched to the common machine builders
Inexpensive part that removes a persistent single feeder fault

Application Scenarios

Feeder positions on single and double jersey machines
Plating positions where two yarns have to enter the hook in order
Machines converted to a different yarn or count

Who It Is For

Machine setters chasing a fault at one feeder
Maintenance teams servicing feeder rows
Machine rebuilders

Problems It Solves

Dropped stitches appearing at one feeder only
Plating faults where the two yarns swap position in the loop
Carrier damaged after a needle break

Use Guide

Confirm the reference against the old part and the machine plate before ordering a full machine set.
Order one complete set per machine where the part is fitted in multiples, so wear is even across the fabric.
Clean the mounting position before fitting. Fly and old oil are the most common cause of a new part not seating.
Check the machine on a short run and measure the fabric before returning it to full production.
Record the reference against the machine so the next reorder does not have to be identified again.

Yarn Carriers Questions

The fault is at one feeder only, is the carrier the cause?

It is one of the first things to check, together with the needles at that position and the yarn tension. A bent carrier changes the height at which yarn meets the hook.

Do plating positions need a different carrier?

Yes. Plating carriers keep the two yarns in a fixed order as they enter the hook, which a plain carrier does not do.
