The present invention concerns an overcasting
plant (1 ) for overcasting
textile semi-finished products and the like having a
front edge (B1 ), a rear edge (B2), parallel to said
front edge (B1 ), a first lateral edge (B3) and a second lateral edge ( B4), opposite said first lateral edge (B3), wherein said first (B3) and second (B4) lateral edges extend respectively from said
front edge (B1 ) to said rear edge (B2), wherein an advancement direction is defined (A) of a semi-finished product (M), such that said front (B1 ) and rear (B2) edges extend substantially perpendicular to said advancement direction (A). Said
plant (1 ) comprises a first overcasting unit (10), comprising a first overcasting head (11 ) movable perpendicularly to said advancement direction (A), to
overcast said front edge (B1 ) of said semi-finished product (M), and a second overcasting head (12) movable perpendicularly to said advancement direction (A), to
overcast said rear edge (B2) of said semi-finished product (M), a second overcasting unit (20) comprising a third overcasting head (21 ), movable along a first direction parallel to said advancement direction (A) to
overcast said first side edge (B3), and configured to rotate and overcast the front corner between said first side edge (B3) and said front edge (B1 ), and configured to rotate and overcast the rear corner between said first side edge (B3) and said rear edge (B2), a fourth overcasting head (22) movable along a second direction parallel to said advancement direction (A) to overcast said second lateral edge (B4), and configured to rotate and overcast the front corner comprised between said second lateral edge (B4) and said front edge (B1 ) and configured to rotate and overcast the rear corner between said second side edge (B4) and said rear edge (B2). The present invention also concerns a method for overcasting semi-finished
textile products and the like.
