A power infeed system can be added to the Newlong DS-9C sewing head to further improve efficiency and quality. This system automatically pulls in the top of the bag, aligns it, and ensures consistent and secure closures.  An attachment can also be added that folds the top of the bag over before sewing providing a slightly cleaner appearance and tighter seal.

A power infeed system allows the same operator to place and fill a bag and then quickly guide it into the bag closing system without too much effort, thus greatly increasing efficiency.

The power infeed system works in conjunction with the sewing head through a series of steps:

  • Bag guiding: A bag guide aligns the top of the bag with the sewing head’s infeed.
  • Power infeed: Driven belts or rollers pull the folded bag top into the sewing head, maintaining tension and speed.
  • Bag top folding: A folding mechanism folds the top of the bag over for a clean, consistent finish.
  • Sewing: The sewing head sews the folded edge using a continuous chain stitch.
  • Thread chain cutting: An automatic cutter trims the thread chain, leaving a neat and secure closure.
