Socks are in great demand among residents of any country. Based on this, it can be argued that their manufacture can bring good income. Therefore, such a business is considered profitable. Since the knitting process itself will be automated, it may take just a few minutes to produce one pair. The technology for the production of socks is not too laborious and does not differ in increased complexity. In the event that it is planned to create secondary production, then it will not be necessary to hire many people. If there is a desire to establish large-scale production, then the staff must be large, as appropriate machines for the production of socks will be needed.
It may take several years for the large enterprise to function properly. Such a period is needed to obtain high quality goods. But do not be afraid of difficulties, since all costs will pay off pretty quickly. The whole process begins with the knitting of a special blank, in which the toe will remain unclosed. Socks production equipment is used. After that, the heat-setting procedure is carried out, with the help of which labels and packaging are applied to the products. Equipment can be presented in three types:
- Machine invented in 1980. It is necessary to create blanks for future socks.
- More modern equipment for the production of socks makes the workpiece with heels and socks. In this case, the preparation of the toe is not required. Models of this type are able to knit socks with high performance. The whole process will take about two and a half minutes.
- A device has already been created that is able to knit a sock in full. But such equipment belongs to the class of expensive. Such automated machines began to be produced not so long ago, so they are rarely found on the market.
The most popular can be considered equipment for the production of socks, the production of which is established in Italy. With the help of such high-tech models, it is possible to produce knitted products in a fully automated mode. The operations with which the toe is sewn up are not needed in this case. There are also special knitting machines consisting of two cylinders. They allow you to produce socks of the most diverse density. In addition, you can use yarn of various textures and colors.
Chinese equipment for the production of socks is also very popular, as it is very reliable and not very expensive, which attracts novice businessmen who cannot start a business that requires high initial capital.
As can be seen from everything described above, there is no particular difficulty in the production of socks. Therefore, you can safely open your own business. Of course, it will be quite difficult to compete with Chinese and Turkish manufacturers, but “houses and walls help”, besides, you better know what the Russian consumer needs.
