Sinker less technology, Why?

On the traditional sinker machines the lack of uniformity in the pressure carried out by the sinkers on the loops can create rows of stitches having diverse stitches (vertical lines). This non uniformity of pressure by the sinkers influences not only the loops in the stitch formation but also the loops in their containment phase, when the needle begins its ascent or rise upwards. In this case the pressures of the sinkers tend to deform the stitch loops already formed creating thereby the vertical lines

On our sinker less machine, equipped with special holding-down jacks (patented by Santoni), the position of the stitch formation is determined not by the stitch level of the sinkers, but by the profile surface of the upper edge of the cylinder which is produced by a very high precision grinding operation that guarantees an extremely high degree of uniformity and precision. The stitch loop formation is not blocked by some pressure or backing but is left free around the needle leg. By this way the rising needle forming the stitch can carry the yarn from the adjacent needle without increasing the tension on the yarn which forms the sides of the new stitch loops preventing their possible breakage Furthermore with this system the non-continuous yarns have been able to be used for compact stitch fabrics and at definitely high running speeds

The seamless technology was initially used for manufacturing of inner wear. The minimum number of seams, the absence of the elastic bands, tags, makes the innerwear made on seamless machines very comfortable to wear Due to the unlimited pattern possibilities, seamless technology is now being employed to manufacture very exclusive outer wears The garments made by the seamless machines can now be identified as exclusive by the end user of the garments, due to very special pattern possibilities of the seamless technology

Seamless technology is a must for making of compressed garments for Sportswear. There is no other similar alternative available to make the compressed garments for sportswear, other than the seamless technology. The compressed garments hold tightly on the body & the absence of seams rubbing against the body is a must to make the garment wearable and more comfortable. The garment also needs to have pores in certain portions of the garments to allow the air to pass through or evaporate the sweat. The garment also needs some bright stripes, logo & so on. This kind of garment can only be made on seamless machines

For sports such as running, cycling and climbing, which are performance oriented sports, seamless sportswear adds protection by providing knitted structures that act as reinforced zones The possibility to calibrate the compression in the required are of the garment has enhanced the seamless applications. The seamless technology is being used for protective garments, maternity care garments & support care garments By sheer numerical strength of the number of garments manufactured on the seamless machines of Santoni, Santoni have earned respect of a very large number of fiber & yarn manufacturers, fashion designers, sewing machinery manufacturers, fashion institutes & many other sectors of the industry . Fibers & yarns are now being produced specially to be used on Santoni machines. Fashion designers have been able to allow their imaginations go far beyond their earlier thinking & have been able to design various garments due to the technology that Santoni have evolved. Santoni has been able to make the Seamless Garment Industry as a separate industry on its own & is now busy expanding it
