MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A REINFORCED MESH AND REINFORCED MESH

Abstract

A machine for manufacturing a reinforced mesh (1, 10), having hexagonal loops, comprising a plurality of permanently deformable wires (2, 2' 3, 3') and at least one reinforcing element (5), comprising a mechanism for mutually twisting first wires (2, 2') and second wires (3, 3') in pairs, said mechanism being provided with passages for the reinforcing elements (5), and a feeding system for the first wires (2, 2'), fed from a plurality of containers (90, 90'), which are installed on the machine and are internally provided with a predetermined length of said first wires (2, 2'), for part of the second wires (3), fed alternately with the first wires, so as to intertwine with them in pairs within the mechanism twisting, and for the reinforcing elements (5), fed into the machine, where, for all the reinforcing elements (5),a wire holder (202) is provided for one of said second wires (3'), the wire holder being rotatable around the reinforcing element. The invention also relates to a multi-twist mesh with hexagonal loops and to a method for producing such a mesh.,
