Ratti Luino S.r.l. – OMM presents the new covering machine model “Menegatto 21”.

The “Menegatto 21” is suitable for the covering process of elastic, rigid yarns and rubber tapes. It can be equipped for single or double covering and is equipped with spindles model R4 and R5 with replaceable bearings. The machine can be offered in fully mechanical, semi-electronic or fully electronic versions. The machine has a state-of-the-art traverse, tapering and lip motion system, so that the take-up bobbins can be used directly in the subsequent stages, without the need for previous rewinding.

In both single and double covering, the machine can be supplied with two different types of gauge: 200 mm and 270 mm.

The core yarn can be unwound by a double or triple roller for spandex, or by a splitter for rubber tapes. The drafting system is also available in different variants, depending on the needs: spring arm/press roller, with counterweights or double chromed roller with conical groove.

The take-up can be carried out by means of an opening arm or coulisse, using cylindrical, conical or kingspool collection tubes.

The “Menegatto 21″ offers a number of improvements such as a smaller headstock – without detracting from efficiency – and an improved threading system of the yarn inside the machine. The touch screen control panel can be supplied in different sizes: 7.4″-8.4″-10.4”.  Machine ready for “Industry 4.0”.

While working with the Menegatto-21 machine, it is not necessary to have an UPS apparatus to guarantee continuity of current, as the spindles – which have great inertia – powered by the inverter during deceleration, act as a generator to power the motor and the cabin in the event of main blackouts or sudden power cuts.
