The Lonati 462 S is a knitting machine — specifically a sock knitting machine — used in the hosiery industry for the automated production of socks on a circular needle bed. Lonati is a well-established Italian manufacturer recognised globally for its circular knitting machinery, supplying the hosiery and legwear sector with equipment for both industrial and specialist production environments.
This listing covers two machines, both manufactured in 2005 and both rated for thin and terry sock production. Terry sock capability means each machine can produce looped, cushioned fabric constructions in addition to standard thin-knit hosiery, making them suitable for a range of end products from lightweight dress socks to thicker sports and comfort socks. The two units differ in their needle counts: one is configured with 156 needles and the other with 168 needles, both operating on a 3¾-inch cylinder diameter. The needle count determines the fineness and circumference of the knitted tube, with the 168-needle machine suited to slightly finer or larger-circumference work compared to the 156-needle unit. Both machines operate on a standard 400 V power supply.
The machines are offered in used condition and are located in Poland, priced at €3,500.
