Loiva, a Korea-based company with its continuous endeavour to create the right solutions at optimum cost has created a name for itself in the garment sewing industry. A place where ‘continuous innovation’ is the key, Loiva provides simple base machines armed with powerful attachments which offer value for money and compete with heavy and high-cost machines.
Loiva displayed its well known button wrapping machine ST-10 which is used for knotting and wrapping of buttons after providing looseness in a button stitch machine. This process provides a strengthened stem of button and in the process helps button hole placket fit easily into the button placket. Also after fixing the button there is no expending view of the button hole. With the maximum sewing speed of 3000 SPM, this sewing machine delivers high productivity.
Using fully programmable LCD operation panel in the machine, it is possible to select the button type (Shank/Flat), button height and wrapping & knotting frequency. Despite its many advanced features, the machine is very easy to operate, because the dynamic design of the machine allows a single operator to handle two machines at a time. Operator has to just feed the button into the slot and push the start button and on the completion of the cycle time, machine stops automatically and the thread gets trimmed.
The recently launched button feeder was another crowd puller at the fair. The patented ST-12 is a button feeder attachment in which a robot mechanism device is used to feed the buttons to the button clamp of the button sewing machine. No operator is needed to align the holes of the button. With its increased feeding speed, the sewing machine head speed can be used up to its maximum, which results in higher productivity. It can be easily installed to any brand of lockstitch button sewing machine.
“In the last 6 months we have sold about 90 pieces of this machine and its capacity for button feeding in shirts is 1400 buttons per hour while generally operators sew 600 to 700 buttons per hour. There are 2 lakh different kinds of buttons in the market and our machine can work well with at least 80% of these,“ Anshuman Dash of Loiva remarked.
