Gauge 432 is the second in the large diameter section, offering twice the capacity of its predecessor, Gauge 342. Focused on manufacturing robust naval ropes or lifting cables, among others, this range of braiding machines is suitable for a wide variety of materials, from nylon and polyesters to the most advanced synthetic fibers.
Within the range, we find models for manufacturing ropes or rope cores with 8, 12, and 16 carriers, as well as a 24 carrier machine aimed at externally covering the rope.
Ratera provides various useful accessories for achieving the desired final product and adapting to the needs of each costumer.
