Technology

Advanced Seamless Knitting Technology. Consistent Output.

Our 114 Santoni seamless circular knitting machines are the heart of SVL’s operation. They determine the quality of the garment, the precision of the fit and the efficiency of the production process.

Seamless Knitting

Understanding Seamless Circular Knitting

One Continuous Operation

The entire garment is knitted in a single, continuous operation on a circular machine. The programme controls structure, shaping, compression zones and pattern across the full garment.

No Seams. No Panels. No Joins.

The garment comes off the machine as a complete tube, needing only trimming and finishing. Uniform construction, consistent shaping and no seam-related weak points.

Built Around the Technology

This technology demands major capital investment and deep technical expertise. It is out of reach for most small and mid-scale manufacturers. SVL built its entire operation around it.

Why It Matters

Why Machine Specification Matters to Buyers

The machine specification directly affects what the product looks like and how it performs.

Gauge and Needle Density

Our machines run at 28 gauge, producing a fine, smooth fabric with a close knit structure suited to premium innerwear, activewear and shapewear.

Cylinder Diameter

The 11" to 19" cylinder range accommodates everything from kids and women’s intimates through to men’s and larger shapewear sizes.

Programming Capability

Santoni machines are programmed via CAD systems for garment shape, compression zones and structural patterns. Our technical team manages this in-house.

Gauge Precision Knitting

Precise Technical Packs

Produced in-house, without relying on external technical support.

Production Line

Supporting Equipment

Our seamless knitting machines operate alongside a complete production line.

Knitting Floor Checks

Every tube is checked on the knitting floor for size, knit defects and structure.
