The lastest model of Lonati sock machines with toe closing and STAR-D, the newly designed Santoni machine for basic production, are on display alongside a very simple machine, Goal MP made at Santoni Shanghai.

Star-D is based on the structure and features of the previous HT model but works with a new Dinema electronic control and uses Digraph 3 Plus software.

It knits with two feeds and has needles on the dial. Star-D comes in four diameters: 3.5in, 4in, 4.5in and 5in.

The main machine motor is a hollow shaft type integrated within the cylinder housing. This solution eliminates the need for transmission betwe

As an option, Star-D can be equipped with an automatic toe closing system. This is a classic linking system performed on a separate device positioned on the side of the machine. The linking system is automatic.
