MER 3 - Elastane roller
Application
This universal elastane roller is designed for the positive feeding of plain elastane yarn to large-diameter circular knitting machines. The MER 3 makes it possible to process plain elastane at even lower yarn tensions.
Main features
- The stop motion system has been completely redesigned for minimum yarn tensions
- The automatic adaptive electronic stop motion system is integrated in the stop motion electric circuit
- Highly versatile thanks to universal single ratio
MER 3: The components

Shutdown system:
The shutdown system operates using the force of gravity. If the yarn breaks, contactless magnetic force trips the shutdown system.
Colour-change warning light:
The warning light is mounted in a central, highly visible position. Yarn breakages are indicated by a colour change.
Cover (optional):
This protects the elastane bobbins from lint thereby reducing machine stoppages and knitting faults caused by contamination. It increases machine productivity.

Cover
This protects the elastane bobbins from lint, so reducing machine stoppages and knitting faults caused by contamination. Significantly increases machine productivity.

MER 3 stop motion system
The stop motion system operates using the force of gravity. If the yarn breaks, the stop motion system is tripped by contactless magnetic force.
