Brescia - Sock knitting machine specialist Busi Giovanni is now offering an upgraded version of the Busi 500 which, as one of five models now in its premium Gold line, is specifically designed for knitting heavy socks with a diameter of 5 ins.
This advanced, single cylinder machine boasts unique capabilities, allowing sock manufacturers to knit both true rib and terry patterns within the same sock.
Additionally, with either a single or two feeds, it can be outfitted with the Rimaglio device for seamless automatic toe-closing, enhancing efficiency in the production process.
With a needle range from 52 to 112, the Busi 500 can produce intricate patterns with up to four colours per course, in addition to the base colour.
This sock is knitted from wool using the 84-needle version. It showcases a two-colour jacquard design on a 1x1 rib structure.
“This is just a glimpse of the diverse range of socks you can create with the Busi 500,” the company says.
