The upgraded Knitel series was developed from high speed X series and Ultra High Speed machines released in 2003. This series was equipped with user friendly control, high volume production ability and optimised features. Its components include needles and sinkers supplied from Europe, Japan and Taiwan in order to achieve quality assurance. The frame of these machines is able to sustain a heavy load of Pai Lung fabric rolling model (45" in diameter) with oil bath bearing design. The take up system also adapts to standard multistage reeling and motor reeling apparatus, and different winding units such as folding, open-width and high-legs design models are provided depending on customer's requests.

Single jersey four track floating plaiting knitting machine-PL-KSFP(B), can produce indigo denim knitted fabric with density of 320~420g/m. This fabric looks almost the same as woven jeans in appearance, but has high air permeability and great elasticity.
