RVU

Field of application

Vertical hose reknitting machine. It enables the knitting of plastic, silicone and rubber hoses with 4 to 16 bobbins (standard: 8 bobbins) and ensures efficient and precise processing.

Machine data

Knitting head diameter: 3/4″- 6″

Number of knitting systems: 4 – 12

Hose diameter: 5 mm – 60 mm (optionally up to 120 mm)

Drive power: 7.5 kW

Max. Machine speed:

  • for 8-f. Coil stand with 7.5 kg coils
    700 rpm
  • with 8-f. Coil stand with 10.5 kg coils: 500 rpm
  • with 12-f. Coil stand with 7.5 kg coils: 500 rpm

Color: Light blue RAL5012

Knitting head diameter, machine gauge and number of knitting systems by arrangement. The machine speed depends on the gauge, knitting head diameter, yarn material and bobbin type. More detailed information on request. Subject to design changes!

Machine design

  • Knitting heads can be changed quickly and easily thanks to the swivel-in device; compatible with the RHU horizontal knitting machine

  • Future-proof investment thanks to modular and durable knitting head technology

  • Equipped with sliding needles (Lucas patent) for a precise knitting pattern

  • Hose pull-off via belt pull-off unit with 600 mm contact length and 90 mm width – special dimensions available on request

  • Mesh length can be infinitely adjusted and monitored for maximum flexibility

  • Frequency-controlled drive motor for infinitely variable speed adjustment

  • Robust, stable machine construction with soundproof cladding for low-vibration and quiet operation

  • All rotating machine elements have ball bearings and are maintenance-free

  • Needle feet run in a closed grease bath – for a long service life

  • Yarn feed with yarn end monitor ensures a uniform knitting pattern (Lucas patent)

  • Processing of twisted and untwisted yarn packages possible

  • Air disc brake stops the machine within one second – even in the event of a power or pressure failure

  • Display of mesh size, tolerances, speed, production speed, production length, operating hours and much more on a clear display – expandable with additional functions

  • Equipped with CAN-BUS interface (Profibus optionally available)

  • Electrical equipment and wiring comply with current CE standards

Extensions

  • Coil fill level monitoring with signal transmitter for timely warning when the coil is almost empty
  • Stroboscope for better visual inspection of rotating machine parts during operation
  • Swivel arm for the HMI control panel enables ergonomic and flexible machine operation
  • Integrated remote maintenance module for worldwide remote access to the drive, PLC and HMI – ideal for updates and support
