1. The New Oil-less 36200 Series
This machine had been in production
virtually unchanged for 50 years.
New manufacturing techniques and
materials allowed for the removal of
oil from a critical area. A logotype
was created to highlight this major
improvement to the machine series
and set it apart as the best choice
for manufacturers.

The quickest way to go from light knit to heavy fleece...
The Union Special®
DNHTC is your hemmer
for knit sleeves and body panels. This fully
automated unit sews a two needle bottom
coverstitch of consistently high quality.
Fabric changeovers are fast and easy thanks to our modular
folder design. Switch fabric as quickly as you switch folders.
Folders are preset to your specific fabric and retain their
settings, minimizing your downtime.
You’re back in production in under 15 minutes.
The DNHTC will hem an estimated 400 dozen pair of sleeves
per 8-hour shift as a stand alone unit (depending upon sleeve
size, stitch length, machine speed and material handling
requirements of the operator.)

With the Union Special®
DNHTC,
the hemming operation is deskilled and material handling is decreased.
The sleeve or body panel is loaded right side up onto a moving conveyor.
The conveyor transports the piece through the modular folder where the patented Union
Special®
dynamic feeding Edge Guider aligns the raw edge before the piece enters the sewing
area. The piece is then hemmed with the leading and trailing chain cut close to the material.
An optional stacker is available to then stack the hemmed product.

13. The Glove Cuff Serger
The GCS automated unit represented
a huge leap forward in glove production.
What once was a focused, labor-intensive
operation became simplified to the point
that three machines could be operated
at once. Many features, facts, and options
needed to be arranged within the space of
the four-page format.

17. The Class 2200
This machine had been a favorite
for bag closing since the late 1950s.
Unfortunately the brochure hadn’t
been updated since the ‘70s. This
new brochure, besides presenting the
unit in its current color scheme, also
included a number of improvements
and options not available previously.
19. For maximum efficiency in sewing geotextiles...
For a flexible and reliable system for bag closing...
the choice is obvious...
the portable Class 2200
The 2200 is a dependable and proven machine that’s easy
to operate and used by companies all over the world.
What makes the 2200 so ideal for your operation?
• Single thread chain stitch
or two thread double locked stitch
All models for two thread double locked stitch
(stitch type 401) can easily be converted into
single thread chainstitch (stitch type 101)
and vice-versa.
• Constant stitch length because of combined
upper and lower feed. The combined upper and
lower feed grips both sides of the bag like pincers, thus
guaranteeing an even feed and constant stitch length
even on difficult materials—no undesired stitch
shortening or perforations on paper or plastic bags.
• Adjustable stitch length
A simple adjustment for a stitch length
range of 3-8½ stitches per inch (3-9mm).
Standard setting: 3 stitches per inch (8mm).
• Weight only approximately 11 lbs (5 kilos)
Light weight well-balanced machine perfectly fits
the operator’s hand and permits effortless
operation.
• Stand-up feature
The design of the motor
housing permits the
operator to stand the unit
in an upright position
when not in use.
• Built-in thread chain
cutter
• Operating speed: 1200-1700
stitches per minute (depending
on material). This results in a linear
travel of 31.5–44.5 feet per minute
(9.6m to 13.6m) at a stitch length of
3 SPI (8mm).
• Sewing capacity: up to 3/8"
(9 mm), or up to 24 plies of paper.
• Direct drive with a fan cooled, advanced design electric
motor. Motor speed nearly constant, even under various
loads, when sewing light or heavy weight goods. Heavy
duty, automatic shut-off carbon brushes prevent damages
to the armature. Motor housing with handle made of
fiberglass-reinforced break-resistant polyamide. Power
cable approx. 16 ft. (5m) long.
• Dustproof and permanently lubricated
motor ball bearings. The motor can be made
dustproof also, by inserting the plastic covers and
gaskets (delivered with the accessories of the
machine,) into the motor vent slots.

22. The Class 80800 Sewing Heads
This series of premium bag closing
machines had been manufactured
for 60 years, but the last brochure
wasn’t updated since the late ‘70s.
Budget restraints kept the brochure to
four pages. A great deal of technical
information had to be formatted onto
those pages. The front page featured
a three-side bleed representing a
closed bag.

25. Use this chart to select the right bag closing equipment to fit your needs.
Bag feed-in devices
For plain closure styles 80800R and RL, use bag feed-
in device GBR29905X1. The device guides the bag
to the machine where it sews the plain closure. A
fold-over closure may be sewn when the device is
fitted with optional fold-over device 93051FA
(see back of this brochure).
Use GBR29910X1 bag feed-in and trimming device
in connection with tape closure styles 80800TL, U,
UL, UA, and UAL. The upper edge of the bag is
trimmed and folded over before taping and closing.
Both feed-in devices run completely beneath the
sewing head, for the best possible bag control. This
is especially beneficial when a tag must be sewn
into the closure, to avoid dropped tags.
On all Union Special feed-in devices the conveyor chains
are coated to minimize marking of the bag material.
