Fischbein Empress Model 101 Tape Sewing Head

The Fischbein Empress Model 101 tape sewing head is typically mounted on a pedestal and used in conjunction with a conveyor to close multi-wall and laminated woven polypropylene bags with a crepe tape sewn closure. With an adjustable operating speed from 35 to 55 linear fpm, the Model 101 creates a two thread, double lock stitch adjustable from 2 to 3.5 stiches/inch (factory set at 2.5 stitches/inch). An optional, easy-open one thread stitch feature is available. The Model 101 has a pressurized, self-lubricating system that protects moving parts and ensures maximum productivity with low maintenance. A wide variety of accessories are available. Among them are various mounting pedestals, power infeed systems, a full range of conveyors, bag-top folders, thread and tape-break detectors, bag coders, and photoelectric controls for system integration.
