72-D3B-2 Extended Feed Butt Seaming Machine
Merrow's butted seam machine designed for tubular knit material. The 72-D3B-2 is designed for handling difficult material and will accommodate anh knit or woven fabric.
The Advantage of the 72-D3B-2
The Merrow 72-D3B-2 industrial sewing machine is designed to sew a consistent and flat butted seam on knit fabric. Specifically suited for tubular knits, the 72-D3B-2 can also be configured to sew a wide range of textiles.
Like all 72-Class Merrow machines, it incorporates an extended feed system and specially designed cutters that allow the consistent movement of sewn material across the cutting surface.
The 72-D3B-2 is hand assembled using high quality steel parts within the traditional Merrow cast iron frame, ensuring a perfect butted seam even after years of use.
WHY it's better
The 72-D3B-2 has been designed to improve on the 70-D3B-2 handling and cutting of fabrics. It represents an improvement on many mechanical areas of the 70-D3B-2 while still creating the same 16MM (5/8") stitch at 2250RPM. Significantly, the 72 Class machines will allow a 16MM (5/8") stitch on most knits.
HOW it's better
The 72-D3B-2 is significantly different from the 70-D3B-2.
- The Feed System is more robust, using three feed dogs instead of two.
- The Cutting System is entirely different and much more flexible. the 72-D3B-2 Cuts fabric 2" ahead of the 70-D3B-2
- The Pressure Foot is 90% Longer
- The Dust shield has been improved
- The Needle Plate is 60% larger and offers more room for fabric handling
WHERE it's used
The 72-D3B-2 is far better than the 70-D3B-2 sewing knits, and can be used in almost all operations where you would use the 70-D3B-2. These include:Continuous Bleaching, Mercerising, Scouring, Washing, Drying, Pad & Steam Dyeing, Printing, Steaming, Shrinking (Sanforizing), Finishing, Tubular Processing, Slitting & De-twisting, Heat Setting, Napping & Shearing, Singeing, Calendering.
