Industrial sewing

Sewing heads for closing bags

The heart of any closing system. We offer heads from the United States, Japan and Taiwan to integrate into a new line or replace an existing one, with spare parts and service in Costa Rica.

Fischbein Empress 100 sewing head

The right thread

All our heads work with lubricated 100% polyester thread, the one recommended by Fischbein and Newlong. The wrong thread is the leading cause of skipped stitches.

Special oil

They use bag closer oil, which we supply. Motor oil or other substitutes damage the head.

Materials

They sew cotton, paper, jute and polypropylene, with a working thickness of up to 8 mm (11 mm on the Megatex (Yaohan) U700C).

Same stitch: what changes from one head to another?

Almost all sewing heads make the same chain stitch. The difference is in the construction, and it shows in how many hours they run without going out of adjustment and in how long their parts last.

  • Heat treatment of moving parts (loopers, feed dogs, shafts)
  • Metal or plastic internal parts
  • Material quality and manufacturing tolerances
  • Lubrication system: manual, oil bath or automatic
  • Wear-part durability and availability of factory spare parts
Seproma is the sole authorized Hamer-Fischbein representative in Costa Rica. New Fischbein heads and original spare parts direct from the factory, with our own workshop in Escazú to adjust and repair heads of every brand we represent.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace only the head on my current system?+

Yes. Most heads can be adapted to existing pedestals and conveyors. We check the mounting, the drive and the sewing height to confirm compatibility before quoting.

How many stitches per inch do I need?+

The factory standard is 2.5 stitches per inch. Fine or powdered products may require a tighter stitch or a crepe tape closure.

What maintenance does a sewing head need?+

Daily lubrication (or checking the oil level on self-lubricated units), cleaning of lint and dust, and periodic replacement of the needle, looper and knives. We teach it in operator training.
