INTRODUCTION

Textile nets have a wide range of end-uses. One of their main uses is to protectagainst adverse weather conditions, inwhich case, the nets are constantly sub-jected to many different climatic effects.This has led to the development of manynew applications, both inside and outside.Warp knitting technology offers a widerange of possibilities for producing nets,which no other technology can match. Alongside weaving and weft knitting, warpknitting is widely used to produce textilesubstrates for a variety of applications.Warp-knitted fabrics may be elastic ordimensionally stable, they may have openor dense constructions, and may have fineor coarse structures. They can be produ-ced as flat, tubular or three-dimensionaltextiles in widths of up to six metres andabove. Besides the exceptional width ofthe nets, another advantage is that thedesign of the nets can also be variedextensively, depending on the knitting pro-cess used and the construction.

Warp knitting technology enables the indi-vidual products to be adapted to suit spe-cific requirements. All the machines canproduce single or multiple webs, and it isnot longer necessary to carry out costlymaking-up processes.

The many possibilities available for produ-cing the nets will now be presented. Anoverview will be given of what warp knittingtechnology can achieve in terms of net pro-duction. The main processing factors andthe end-uses will also be described. Inaddition to information on the actual pro-ducts, important aspects relating to pro-duction and the basic constructions willalso be presented by way of a short intro-duction.

INTRODUCTION

BASIC NET CONSTRUCTIONS

The specific characteristics of each net will depend on a number of interdependentfactors:

• the lapping• the number of guide bars used• the machine gauge• the yarn threading arrangement• the stitch density• the type of yarn

The following characteristics of the nets can be varied by altering these parameters tosuit the intended end-use::

• the level of shade provided, or sun-protection factor• the wind permeability• the opacity• the stability, or elasticity, in the lengthwise and crosswise directions

Most of the nets produced on single-bar raschel machines are produced by a pillarstitch-inlay lapping or by other simple basic constructions. The loops in the variouslappings can be processed so that they are open or closed. Some of the most fre-quently used basic lappings are:

Pillar stitchA pillar stitch construction is the first choice for producing the nets, and it is the mostfrequently used lapping when manufacturing nets. In most cases, the pillar stitch isresponsible for ensuring that the nets have the required lengthwise strength and sta-bility. To produce a textile substrate, the pillar stitch construction must be combinedwith an inlay lapping or one of a number of other lappings (Fig. 1).

Inlay (weft)As with the pillar stitch lapping, the inlay cannot produce a textile substrate on its own.The inlay is responsible for maintaining the crosswise stability, and can join two, threeor more stitch wales together. As a general rule, the more wales that are joined toget-her in an underlap, the more stable is the fabric (Fig. 2).

TricotThe basic tricot lapping is produced by sideways shogging of the guide bar in relationto the adjacent needle. When worked without any additional guide bars, this lappingproduces an elastic fabric. Because of its own high elasticity in the lengthwise andcrosswise directions, the tricot lapping is seldom used for producing nets, unless anadditional guide bar is used (Fig. 3).

2 x 1 lappingAs with the tricot lapping, the 2 x 1 lapping joins together adjacent wales. Unlike thetricot lapping, the next loop is not produced on the adjacent needle, but on the nextbut one needle. The same principle applies to all the other stitch lappings, with theexception of the pillar stitch construction (Fig. 4).

Combining these lappings produces a wide variety of different fabric characteristicsand two, three or more lappings can be combined. This enables the specific charac-teristics of a product to be varied extensively.

PRODUCTION OF THE NET OPENINGS

INTRODUCTION

Net openings having a variety of different sizes and shapes can be produced in anumber of different ways, in which case, the choice of gauge, construction and stitchdensity are decisive factors in determining the shape and size of the openings.

Another factor is the yarn threading arrangement into the guide bars. This does notnecessarily have to be identical to the machine gauge. Because of the many possi-ble end-uses, threading arrangements of 1 in, 1 out, 1 in, 2 out, etc., are often usedfor these types of products. The advantage for the manufacturer is that a wide rangeof products can be produced on one machine, without having to carry out any time-consuming changeover procedures.

INTRODUCTION

In order to improve handling and to joinindividual webs of net together, the knit-ting operative can incorporate differentreinforcing strips and edgings, depen-ding on the machine’s features. Theseinclude eyelet-holes or straps, whichmay be located at the edge or in themiddle of the net. They are usually incor-porated in the vertical direction, but maysometimes be worked in the horizontaldirection as well.The functional zones in the nets can bevaried and produced in a number of dif-ferent ways. The three main types andtheir possibilities will now be described.

Reinforcing strips and functional zonesReinforcement and functional zones canbe incorporated at the edge or in thecentral zone and, in addition to providingthe net with additional support, alsomake it stronger and produce an excel-lent edge.The edge of the textile can be reinforcedin a number of ways:

• by using additional guide bars• by threading several or thicker yarns

in the guide• by changing the gauge (e.g. main part

E 12, 1 in, 1 out, and the edge, E 12, fully threaded)

StrapsStraps (draw strings) usually run as zero inlays (filler thread) into the net during theknitting process, and are fixed in place between the underlaps of the other guidebars. These straps stabilise the nets once they have been erected, and can also beused for subsequently incorporating steel wires, cords or similar materials (Fig. 3).

Eyelet holes (buttonholes)Various lappings can be used to work the eyelet constructions. They can be formedusing loop or inlay lappings and by using one or several guide bars. The length of theeyelets and the distance between them can be increased or decreased by adjustingthe lapping, and the width of the openings is determined by the threading-in arran-gement and the lapping.These additional possibilities enable the eyelet strips to be designed to suit specificapplications, and the distance between the holes can be adjusted to suit the particu-lar end-use of the net. Nets for covering scaffolding are one example of this type ofnet. The eyelet holes in the net are knitted-in so that they correspond to the distancebetween the scaffolding supports, which enables the nets to be accurately mountedand fixed to the supports (Figs. 1 and 2).

INTRODUCTION

KNOTLESS NETS

The difference between knotlessand knotted netsNets produced on warp knitting machinesare ‘knotless’ constructions. The single- ordouble-bar raschel machines used to pro-duce these nets process the yarns directlyfrom a warp beam to produce the net. Inthis case, all the yarns are processed ver-tically into the connecting sections. Theguide bars are moved to the adjacent con-necting section at specific intervals, whichproduces the joint or so-called ‘knot’. Anexamination of the net shows a textilehaving a uniform thickness, without anybumps in the ‘knot section’. Consequently,this has given rise to the term, ‘knotlessnets’. On the other hand, knotted nets are produ-ced by knotting yarns that have alreadybeen twisted together in a specific cycle toform a net. The connecting sections andjoining points (knots) can be varied,depending on the size of mesh required.Any adjustments are made via the lapping.This knitting technology allows the knittingoperative to easily lengthen or shortenboth the knots and the connecting sectionsfor the same yarn use. The weight chan-ges slightly when the size of the mesh ischanged.The width of warp-knitted nets is alwaysspecified along with the number of meshopenings in the net, since the maximumspan width of the nets will vary accordingto the size of the mesh and the relationshipbetween the knot length and the length ofthe connecting sections.

The characteristics of knotlessnets• a smooth textile surface is produced by

the way in which the loops are joined together. This results in low energy expenditure when the net is used for fishing, since the flow resistance is low

• the size of all the mesh openings is exactly the same, and the joining points are completely slip-resistant

• good abrasion resistance, since no knots protrude from the surface

• no finishes are required, since the joining points are completely stable

• long production cycles, since the warp beams have a long running length

• economical, untwisted filament yarns can be processed

• the knotless construction reduces the risk of injury to the user during use

• high energy absorption capacity.

TYPES OF MATERIALS

INTRODUCTION

Every type of raschel machine can processa wide variety of yarn types and structures.Synthetic yarns are usually used, includingpolyester (PES), polyamide (PA) and poly-olefines such as polyethylene (PE) andpolypropylene (PP) in the form of filamentor spun yarns. These yarns can be used ina wide range of different shapes and con-structions, and may be flat, textured, shiny,matt, circular, structured or spun-dyed.Less conventional materials, such asmetal wire, reflective or conductive yarns,tape yarns, natural fibres and every otherconceivable type of material can also beprocessed. This applies to all the productsand machines described in this brochure.

Agricultural nets are usually made frompolyolefine in the form of tape or monofila-ment yarns.

Polyethylene is usually used for the follo-wing reasons:

• the yarn parameters (elongation and strength/stability) can be stipulated inadvance

• low weight

• no water absorption

• flexibility

• high strength

• rot-resistance

• weather-resistance

• can be dyed in any colour.

Depending on the requirements of the endproduct, polyethylene may either be pro-cessed in the form of tape or monofilamentyarns, but combinations of the two are notuncommon. The choice of which yarn touse will depend partly on the characteri-stics of the end product, and also on thetype of machinery available in the manu-facturing plant.

Tape yarnsNets made exclusively from tape yarns areintended mainly for use as shade nets.This is because the tape yarns produce aflexible, lightweight net having an excellentsun-protection factor. But this type of tapeyarn construction can also be used in pro-tective nets, such as anti-bird nets.

Monofilament yarnsNets made from monofilaments are ideal for use as harvesting or anti-bird nets, butthey are frequently also used as shade nets.The nets produced exclusively from monofilament yarns are extremely stable anddurable. However, they need to have a high density if they are to be used as shadenets, for example. This increases the weight of the net, and the high yarn consump-tion increases the cost.

Combination of tape and monofilament yarnsA combination of monofilament and tape yarns is suitable for a variety of end-uses,such as for harvesting nets, anti-bird nets and shade nets.The textile produced on a double-bar machine is usually made from monofilamentsas the pillar stitches and tape yarns as the inlays. With three-bar constructions,monofilaments can also be used for the inlays (i.e. monofilaments in the pillar stitchesand monofilaments and tape yarns in the inlays).This combination of yarns makes the nets more stable and durable than nets madeexclusively from tape yarns. By using tape yarns as the inlay, lightweight nets havinga high shade factor can be produced for a low material consumption.Sections made from different materials can also be produced next to each other.

Depending on the final end-use, manufacturers may use polyester, polyamide orpolypropylene multifilament yarns to produce universal nets and fishing-nets.However, every other type of material, as well as combinations of materials andcolours, can also be used.

CIRCULAR BALE AND PALLET NETS

APPLICATIONS

These lightweight polyethylene nets can be used for securing circular hay balesand for stabilising pallets and piles of boxes so that they can be transported safe-ly. Even bales of silage can be secured with a net first to make them more stable.The lapping used to produce this type of net is a pillar stitch/inlay combinationwhich was specially developed for this particular application, whereby the largewidth of the openings creates a self-adhesive effect on the circular bales. The pil-lar stitch wales are spaced wide apart from each other, since the machine opera-tes at only one needle per inch (1 needle to 25.4 mm). The standard width of thenets is approx. 125 cm and the weight is 9-15 g/m2.

APPLICATIONS

Harvesting netsHarvesting nets are perfect for collectingfruits which fall off the tree when they areripe, or which have to be shaken off thetree. Olive groves are a typical example ofthis. The nets are placed underneath thetrees until the harvesting period is over,and are used for catching the ripe fruit as itfalls off the tree. This simplifies andrationa lises the harvesting process consi-derably.The size of openings in the net can bevaried, depending on the size of the fruit.The holes are produced by varying the pil-lar stitch/inlay lapping. Depending on theend-use and the type of textile, the machi-ne operates with one pillar stitch and oneor more inlay guide bars. The nets are usu-ally made from polyethylene monofila-ments.

Anti-bird netsThese nets can be placed over trees andfields to protect the fruit from being eatenby birds. The textile is strong yet light-weight and protects the fruit without restric-ting plant growth.The nets are usually worked with twostitch-forming guide bars, and have a basicconstruction in which the openings are pro-duced. The size of the diamond-shapedopenings can be increased or decreasedby varying the repeat length of the connec-ting sections. The use of polyethylene tapeyarns or monofilament yarns makes thenet extremely durable and hard-wearing.

Anti-hailstone netsAnti-hailstone nets are used to coverplants and fruit orchards to protect themfrom being damaged by hailstones. Co -vering fields with this type of net protectsthe plants from being damaged by hailsto-nes, but does not restrict their growth.The nets are primarily made from poly-ethylene monofilaments and are producedon two- or three-bar machines using a sim-ple pillar stitch/inlay construction. Tricot or2 x 1 lappings with a pillar stitch can alsobe worked to produce other types of anti-hailstone nets.Depending on the stitch density and under-lap length, nets having varying shade fac-tors or air-permeability values can be pro-duced for use as shade nets, sun-screensor wind-breaks. The pillar stitches, whichare usually made from polyethylene mono-filament or tape yarns, and the inlays,which usually comprise tape yarns, give

APPLICATIONS

the net its own special characteristics. Theknitting technology also makes it possibleto process a loop lapping in place of aninlay lapping, depending on the strengthrequirements. Nets for use outdoors canalso be treated so that they are resistant toUV light. These types of nets can also beprinted and erected at sporting facilitiesand used for advertising, for example.

Shade netsShade nets are used extensively in war-mer countries of the world. They can beerected over hothouses and crops to pro-tect the seedlings and plants from theeffects of strong sunlight and to preventthem from drying out. They can thus beused to create optimum growth conditionsfor the plants. A constant level of air circu-lation can also be maintained in greenhou-ses covered with warp-knitted shade nets,which prevents excess heat from buildingup.

Sun protection netsWarp-knitted nets are not only used in hotcountries for protecting plants, they canalso be used in a range of other, everydayuses. For example, they can be placedover play areas, car parks, patios and ter-races to protect people from harmful UVrays and heat. Their low weight makes iteasy for them to be erected easily overbanks of seats and play areas, and theycan be removed just as easily afterwards.They are a cheap and flexible alternative totraditional, static sun-screens.

Wind protection/wind-breaksWind-breaks are used to protect fields ofyoung plants, trees or the harvest frombeing damaged by the wind. Erectingwind-breaks protects the young seedlingsand the mature plants from drying out andbeing broken. The nets used here reducethe effects of high winds and help to keepout airborne sand and salt in areas close tothe sea. Protecting plants from high windsalso encourages plant growth and reducesthe number of irrigation cycles required.

FISHING-NETS

APPLICATIONS

Knotless fishing-nets are nearly always produced using the same lapping principle.Here too, the repeat consists of two zones, a ‘knot’ and a ‘connecting section’. Thesize of these two zones in the net can also be changed, i.e. it can be increased.

Standard and super knotsWith fishing-nets, the distinction is usually made between standard and super-knot-ted types. Standard knots are usually used in normal applications whereas, withsuper knots, two of the inlay guide bars form an additional loop at the joining point(knot), which increases the volume and strength of the ‘knots’.

Single and double connecting sectionsAs with the knot, the design of the connecting section can also be varied. With fis-hing-nets, this generally consists of a pillar stitch wale. If the connecting sectionneeds to be stronger or have a flat cross-section, the connecting section can be wor-ked with two wales to produce a so-called ‘double connecting section’.

The yarnsFlat, untwisted polyester or polyamide multifilament yarns are usually used.

APPLICATIONS

SPORTS AND SAFETY NETS

These universal nets can be used inevery possible end-use. For example,they can be used to protect people aswell as to secure loads in motor vehiclesand containers. Their main use is forsafety/protection and in the sports sec-tor.Safety nets are usually used for protec-ting people. When erected on buildingsites, they protect workers in the event ofa fall, and prevent passers-by from beinghit by falling objects. Like safety nets, sports nets are used toprotect people around sports stadiumsfrom being hit by flying objects. They canalso be used as goal and volleyball nets,and as dividing and retaining nets insports halls.Depending on the specific end-use,these nets must be able to meet certainprotection requirements. The knotlessnets used in these applications are slip-resistant and, as well as being extreme-ly strong, also have a high energy-absor-bing capacity.The nets are usually produced on dou-ble-bar raschel machines and have twoidentical sides. The machine producesstitch wales on the front and rear needlebars simultaneously, with an almost cir-cular cross-section, which also reinforceseveral inlay yarns. As with all the othernets, the size of mesh can be varied.The different shapes of the openingsdepend on the ratio between the lengthof the connecting section to the knot,and these give the net its own particularcharacteristics. Depending on the con-struction and end-use, the mesh mayhave a hexagonal, a square or a dia-mond shape.

Kettenwirk-Praxis 2/2005

Several raschel machines, which operateusing different knitting techniques, can beused for producing the nets. We wouldlike to describe two of these techniquesin this brochure:

• single-bar raschel machines (single-face raschel machines)

• double-bar raschel machines (double-face raschel machines)

Single-bar raschel machines

Agricultural, safety and fishing-nets can beproduced using this technology. The loopheads (Fig. 1) can be seen on the front ofthe textile and the underlaps can be seenon the reverse side (Fig. 2).

The RS 4 N-F

is an all-round, four-bar machine, which isused for producing agricultural, protective,shade nets, etc.

MACHINES SURVEY

Double-bar raschel machines

Double-bar raschel machines produce knotless nets having an almost circular cross-section. Sports and safety nets are examples of this type of net.Unlike single-bar machines, double-bar machines form loops on both needle bars.The articles produced in this way are instantly recognisable, since they have twoidentical sides on which the loop heads can be seen. In each case, the underlaps liebetween the front and the rear loop head. The nets produced on these machineshave a higher volume than that of those produced on single-bar machines.

However, there is an exception to this rule. Single-bar textiles can be produced oncertain double-bar machines - with double the fabric width. This is based on the prin-ciple of a textile web being produced on each needle bar. During the knitting process,an additional pattern bar joins the two textile webs together on one side. This princi-ple can also be used to produce two separate textile webs simultaneously.

The HDR 8

is a double-bar raschel machine for pro-ducing nets having a circular cross-sec-tion, such as safety, universal and sportsnets. This machine operates with eightguide bars.

YARN FEEDING

Operating with the FTL unitThe FTL unit is usually located behind the machine and is used for feeding the exactamount of tape yarns required to the machine.The film is unwound from the roll of film and slit into predetermined widths. The cuttapes are then fed to a stretching zone, where they are stretched monoaxially, andthe exact amount required is fed to the raschel machine.The FTL system is based on a modular design, and can be supplied as a single unitor as twin or triple versions. Working out how many units are needed will depend onthe width of the machine, the number of guide bars, the machine gauge, and the finalwidth of the tape yarns.

Various systems are available for feedingthe tape yarns, monofilaments or filamentyarns to the machine’s knitting elements toproduce the nets. Every system involvesfeeding the yarns to the knitting point viayarn combs and tensioners. Depending onthe lapping, the guide bars knit the yarnssupplied from the various guide bars toproduce different textile products.

The distinction can be made between thefollowing feed systems:

• an FTL unit• a frame carrying sectional warp beams• a combination of a sectional warp beam

frame and an FTL unit• feed units with beam let-off frames• feed units with a creel

The yarn may be supplied in the form of aroll of film, on packages or on sectionalwarp beams, in which case the appropria-te feed system must be used, or else furt-her processes must be carried out to pre-pare the yarn.

Operating with sectional warpbeamsWound packages (tape or monofilamentyarns) are a basic prerequisite for proces-sing sectional warp beams. These can eit-her be produced by companies in-house orelse bought-in from outside suppliers. Toproduce the sectional warp beams, thewound material has to be processed ontosectional warp beams on a warping machi-ne. The sectional warp beams are thenmounted onto a frame, which is placedover the machine. The yarn is fed directlyfrom the sectional warp beams via tensio-ning bars and combs to the knitting point.The number of beam mountings on theframe usually depends on the number of(ground) guide bars. Each beam stationcan carry several sectional warp beams,depending on the width of the machine,the number of yarns or monofilamentsrequired, and the size of the sectional warpbeams.

Operating with sectional warpbeams and an FTL unitCombining a frame with an FTL unit ena-bles an article containing tape yarns aswell as monofilament yarns to be produ-ced. The tape yarns are fed from the FTLunit and the monofilaments are fed fromthe frame.

YARN FEEDING

Lieferwerke = feed units

Operating with feed units and acreelUsing a creel is always recommended ifthe yarn is wound on packages. The pak-kages are mounted in the creel and theexact amount required is fed via feed unitsto the machine.A variety of creels having different types ofpackage mountings are available. The sizeof the creel and the number of packagepositions will depend on the number ofyarns required.The feed units are used to take-off theyarns from the creel and feed the tapeyarns or monofilaments to the knitting pointat the correct tension. The number of feedunits used will depend on the number ofguide bars. Each feed position is drivenseparately by means of a geared motor.This process is extremely efficient, sincethe packages can be used directly.However, the fact that a creel takes up agreat deal of space must also be taken intoaccount.

Operating with feed units andbeam let-off framesIf the aim is to achieve longer runningtimes by using larger beams, the alternati-ve is to position the beams on separate let-off frames rather than on a frame abovethe machine. The beams that are mountedon let-off frames are larger than standardsectional warp beams.They are arranged either in front of orbehind the machine. In this case, the yarnsare fed to the knitting machine via feedunits.The feed units are used to take-off theyarns from the beam let-off frames and tofeed the tape yarns or monofilaments tothe knitting point at the correct tension.The number of feed units used will dependon the number of guide bars. Each feedposition is driven separately by means of ageared motor.
