Terry towel length hemming machine with chain stitch

Terry Towel Length Hemming Machine with Chain Stitch is a fully automatic, high-efficiency textile finishing machine dedicated to hemming and stitching the long (lengthwise) edges of terry towels, bath towels, and similar fabrics.

It uses chain stitch for firm, elastic, and durable hems, ideal for mass production.

Key Features & Advantages

✤ Chain Stitch Sewing

• Single/double needle chain stitch (typically imported heads e.g., Pegasus/Mitsubishi)
• Elastic & strong: stretches with fabric, no broken stitches
• High speed: up to 4,500 rpm; sewing speed 16–20 m/min
• Neat, uniform stitches; no loose threads or fraying

✤ Automatic Hemming (Tri-Fold)

• 3-fold hem system (patented design)
• Hem width: 5–6 mm, 7–8 mm, 9–10 mm (adjustable)
• Special mechanism keeps terry loops out of stitches for clean finish
• Handles thick borders and uneven thickness smoothly

✤ Precision & Stability

• Photoelectric / fiber automatic alignment & edge correction
• Tension control: electric adjustable, prevents stretching or wrinkling
• Pile edge tracking: automatically adjusts for varying towel width
• Accurate to ±1 mm

✤ Safety & Automation

• PLC + touch screen HMI: easy operation, parameter storage
• Auto-stop: no fabric, broken thread, jam detection
• Dust collection / thread trimming built-in
• Low labor intensity; one operator can run multiple machines

Typical Technical Specifications

• Working width: 250–1,800 mm (custom up to 2,000 mm)
• towel width: ~260–300 mm
• Sewing speed: 6–20 m/min (standard 16–18 m/min)
• Stitch type: single/double chain stitch
• Hem size: 5–10 mm (tri-fold)
• Power: ~3–8 kW, 380V 3-phase
• Air supply: 0.5–0.6 MPa (optional)
• Capacity: ~600–720 m/h (double lane)
• Dimensions: approx. 4,000×2,700×2,700 mm
• Weight: ~1,300–1,800 kg

Structure & Workflow

1. Unwind & feeding: automatic centering, tension control
2. Edge trimming: cuts selvedge to uniform width
3. Tri-fold hemming: mechanical folder forms clean 3-fold hem
4. Chain stitch sewing: double heads (left & right) sew simultaneously
5. Puller & delivery: stable cloth pulling, no deformation
6. Plaiter / winder: finished towel stacking or rolling

Applications

• Home textiles: face towels, bath towels, beach towels
• Hotel & hospitality: standard & large-size towels
• Medical & cleaning: surgical towels, wiping cloths, microfiber towels
• Industrial linen: heavy-duty terry cloth products

Why Choose Chain Stitch?

• Durability: stronger than lockstitch for thick terry
• Elasticity: stretches without breaking — ideal for towels
• Productivity: higher speed, fewer thread breaks
• Finish: flat, soft hem; no bulky seam

Benefits for Manufacturers

• Labor saving: 1 machine replaces 6–10 workers
• Consistency: uniform hems, high pass rate
• Speed: 8hr production ≈ 7,000–8,000 meters
• Quality: neat edges, no fraying, improved product value
• Low maintenance: robust design, long service life
