  • Locking casters available in 2-1/2" or 4"

The HELMSMAN SEWING TABLE can be used with an air, clutch, or servo motor. Additional configurations for wet environments are available.  While it come standard with 2-1/2 inch rolling casters that are ideal for clean, flat workplaces, it can also be upgraded to include 4-inch casters. This upgrade is strongly recommended for any location where the table will encounter obstacles or uneven surfaces. The 4-inch wheels glide easily over obstacles and are less likely to become wrapped in discarded thread, material, and/or debris. They are available in four colors: grey, red, maroon, or blue.

Join Knits and Non-Woven Materials with the Merrow High-Speed Sewing Machine Line -- for Wet and Dry Environments



Merrow's 71-Class machines are designed and built to be the world's most durable sewing solutions for butt seaming, knitting facilities, and any moisture-rich seaming environment. They come in three variations: the 71-1D-2 model, the 71-1D-2 CNP model, and 71-1D-7 CNP model. Both of the CNP models are entirely nickel plated, protecting the machines from corrosion and rust, even in wet or saturated environments. There are no other machines in the world that can stand up to wet environments like the 71-1D-2 CNP and 71-1D-7 CNP can. However, if that's not a concern, the 71-1D-2 is painted (rather than nickel plated) and is the top-of-the-line solution for dry seaming environments. 




All our 71-Class Models are incredibly durable and easy to service. They do not recirculate oil, preventing the internal buildup of particulates that commonly causes machine failure in self-oiling machines. This gives the 17-1D a distinct advantage over converted overlock machines, ensuring your processes will continue running smoothly without fears of machine OR stitch failure. 




Additionally, all 71-Class models have specifically milled cam grooves that allow consistent, uninterrupted sewing at up to 4000 RPM. That is a substantial difference in speed when compared to RPM speeds of other machines commonly used in seaming facilities. The evidence is overwhelming: from their unparalleled durability to the significant impact these machines have on increasing overall speed of production, there is simply no match for the 71-1D. 




Why buy machines that cannot withstand the rigors of production? The 71-Class models can literally run forever, even in harsh environments where most machines will stop working in mere weeks or months. Invest in a machine that will provide quality stitching for years to come.

RPS Manufacturing Solutions & Merrow's MG-3U


The Merrow Stories are pouring in! This story came via email from RPS Manufacturing Solutions in Wolfforth, Texas. In this video, you can see our Merrow MG-3U putting the finishing touches on a patch:



RPS Solutions have spent the last 25 years leading the development and delivery of products that make the workplace safer for the everyday person. Their products provide breathability in the harshest environments, industry-leading protection, regulated temperatures, and enhanced productivity for workers all over the world. They carry all types of uniforms for both warm and cold climates including coveralls, bibs, bomber jackets and parkas. And, if you need those uniforms customized with reflective striping, patches, embroidery, or any other kind of personalization, RPS Solutions has the capabilities to get it done fast, all under one roof! 

"We love our Merrow machine, we started out making 200 patches a month but now produce over 5000 custom patches a month and are looking to expand even more….we look forward to buying a new machine very soon!"
- Sally Vento, RPS Manufacturing Solutions
 

We asked RPS a few questions about what role the MG-3U plays in their production and how Merrow has helped improve their product or production. "We apply name branding and custom logo branding on the spot, MTO [made to order].  No stocking or minimum order requirements." Merrow has enabled RPS to incorporate "a unique concept to personalizing work apparel" through "being able to customize and add names" for any order.  


Do you have photos or videos of a Merrow in-action you'd like to submit to our Merrow Stories series? Send us a message and we'll send you a free t-shirt, it's THAT simple! Our favorite submissions will continue to be shared on our blog, so keep checking back for more!
