Producing machinery since 1925

Since 1925, Vitari SpA has been designing and manufacturing mach-inery for the wire industry at Valbrembo, near Bergamo, Italy. Now part of the Eurolls Group, the company benefits from an extensive research and development programme. Vitari manufactures a large range of machines, starting from the automatic wire straightening and cutting-off machines with relevant chamfering

machines, machines for manufacturing nails, chains, chain link fencing, hexagonal wire mesh for gabions, barbed wire, dress- hangers etc and all ancillary machines. A particular importance is kept for the barbed wire making machines that can produce all kinds of galvanised or plastic- coated mild steel wire (mod BVM) and reverse-twist barbed wire (mod BVR). They are high productivity machines, sound-proofed and with all required safety devices. They are also equipped with a centralised automatic lubrication system. These machines are placed vertically for ease of access for set-up and maintenance. The company also produces machinery for making wire coat-hangers. The wire is introduced into the machine by means of rotating bushes, or by means of a set of rollers in case of plastic-coated wire. Two pairs of rollers make the wire run into the dress-hanger moulding unit. The wire length is variable depending on the type of wire and coat-hanger to make. The moulding operation consists of wire being cut to the preset length, bending, hook moulding and coat-hanger ejection. The produced coat-hangers are collected on a special inclined bar. By changing the tooling the user can produce different shapes of wire coat-hangers. . . . and a new range Vitari has a range of new automatic wire straightening and cutting-off machines for wires from ø2.0 to 10mm, with feeding speed electronically variable from 30 to 200 m/minute. The bar length measuring is made by an encoder The wire cutting is by a brushless servomotor The collecting bench of machine mod NR222 is modular, composed by elements of a cutting bench of 3- 6-9-12 metres and is equipped with a movable stopping device with display showing the bar length and the operator can move it manually get a more exact bar length • • • The main characteristics are:
