Hosiery/​Socks

The available versions include Busi Medical and Busi Medical Terry machines. Every machine is equipped with two feeds for the main yarns, plus two more feeds for elastic ones. Sandwich terry option on the Terry version only.

Rimaglio

All of these versions are available equipped with the company’s Rimaglio automatic, stitch-by-stitch, toe-closing device, even up to the highest possible gauges.

It downloads the sock from the machine, after completion of the knitting operation, and it transfers the sock to the linking device, where it is sewn loop by loop. The sock is turned inside out, so that the linking remains on the inside of the sock, resulting in a perfect traditional-looking linking. After being sewn, the sock, already reversed to the right side, is removed from the machine and is ready for the next boarding operation.

Machines

Busi Medical is a high production single cylinder sock machine with latch needles in the dial to enable it to produce true rib and plain stitch medical compression socks with compression class 1, 2, 3 and it is provided with full electronic control. The machine is provided with 2 knitting feeds for both plain stitch and true rib.

The compression graduation is achieved by using the automatic stiffening, which is available on all the stitch motors, and by graduating the tension of the inlaid elastic yarn.

Busi Medical Terry is also a high production single cylinder sock machine with latch needles in the dial. The machine is provided with 2 knitting feeds. The terry device enables the fully automatic switching from plain stitch to half terry and to full terry.
