GS-5 II Bag Sewing Machine

The GS-5 II Bag Sewing Machine is designed for stitching applications involving food, animal feed, chemicals and other packaged products. The catalogue specifies its use with PP woven bags, sacks and cotton bags and describes an approximate production capacity of 150–250 bags per hour for relatively small-scale production, with actual capacity depending on operating conditions. The machine can sew different types of bags, including padded bags, paper bags and thick sacks. Its sewing head produces double-chain stitching intended to provide a flexible, neat and firm bag closure. Paper tape can also be selected when sewing paper bags and other applicable bag types. The GS-5 II provides a 7–12 mm pitch and uses 20/6 or 20/9 synthetic or cotton thread with a DRX2 #25 or #26 needle. The catalogue specifies a manual thread cutter.
