Consew 345-3 High Speed, Feed-Off-The-Arm Type, Drop Feed, Double Chainstitch, Lap Seam Felling Machine, 3 Needles

Consew 345-3 High-Speed 3-Needle Feed-Off-The-Arm Double Chainstitch Lap Seam Felling Machine

The Consew 345-3 is a high-speed, three-needle, feed-off-the-arm industrial sewing machine designed for double chainstitch lap seam felling operations. Featuring a drop feed mechanism and specialized cylinder arm construction, this machine is suitable for sewing light to heavy-weight materials and producing durable, consistent seams.

Equipped with fully automatic lubrication, a chain cutter, screw-adjustable stitch regulator, and a presser foot lifting mechanism, the Consew 345-3 is designed for efficient industrial garment manufacturing. Its narrow cylinder arm makes it particularly suitable for sewing tubular garments, jeans, workwear, and other products requiring lap seam felling in difficult-to-reach areas.

With a maximum sewing speed of 3,600 stitches per minute, the Consew 345-3 provides reliable performance for high-volume industrial sewing applications.

Applications

• Sewing light to heavy-weight fabrics and industrial textile materials.
• Manufacturing shirts, sleepwear, jeans, pants, and skirts.
• Producing industrial uniforms, workwear, and heavy-duty overalls.
• Stitching raincoats and other outerwear garments.
• Performing lap seam felling operations on garment panels and fabric sections.
• Sewing difficult-to-handle tubular garments and narrow fabric openings.
• Creating parallel chainstitch seams for apparel manufacturing.
• Industrial garment production requiring consistent, high-speed stitching.

Ideal for: Denim manufacturers, garment factories, workwear producers, uniform manufacturers, apparel workshops, and industrial sewing operations requiring a specialized feed-off-the-arm lap seam felling machine.

Key Features

• Three-Needle Chainstitch System: Produces three parallel rows of Type 401 double chainstitch sewing for industrial lap seam felling applications.
• Feed-Off-The-Arm Design: Features a specialized cylinder arm construction that allows tubular garments and fabric sections to move through the machine during sewing.
• Lap Seam Felling Capability: Designed for creating consistent lap-felled seams on jeans, workwear, uniforms, and other garments.
• High-Speed Operation: Supports sewing speeds of up to 3,600 stitches per minute for efficient industrial production.
• Drop Feed Mechanism: Provides material feeding through the machine's lower feed system during sewing operations.
• Fully Automatic Lubrication: Features an automatic lubrication system designed to supply oil to the machine's operating components.
• Chain Cutter: Includes a chain cutter for cutting the thread chain after completing sewing operations.
• Narrow Cylinder Arm: Allows lap seam felling on narrow openings and difficult-to-sew tubular products.
• Adjustable Presser Foot Lift: The presser bar can be raised using a knee lifter or foot pedal for convenient material handling.
• Screw-Adjustable Stitch Regulator: Allows operators to adjust stitch length according to material and sewing requirements.
• Adjustable Stitch Length: Supports stitch lengths up to approximately 4.2 mm, equivalent to 6 stitches per inch.
• Compact Cylinder Diameter: Features a 1-23/32" (53.5 mm) cylinder diameter at the needle bar for specialized tubular sewing operations.

Stitching Capabilities

The Consew 345-3 produces Type 401 double chainstitches using a three-needle configuration. Its feed-off-the-arm design allows operators to create consistent lap-felled seams on tubular garments and other products where conventional flat bed sewing machines may provide limited access.

• Stitch Type: 401 Double Chainstitch
• Number of Needles: 3 (Three)
• Feeding System: Drop Feed
• Maximum Stitch Length: 4.2 mm
• Maximum Sewing Speed: 3,600 Stitches Per Minute
• Presser Foot Clearance: 5/16" (8 mm)
• Seam Type: Lap Seam Felling

The narrow cylinder arm is particularly useful when stitching tubular products such as denim trouser legs, workwear, and other garments requiring accurate parallel stitching.

Note: Maximum sewing speed depends on the thread, material, machine setup, and sewing application.
