At the recent Texprocess Americas show (Atlanta), Pathfinder cut a breathable woven furniture fabric on our multi-ply system without punch paper, without sealing plastic, and even without enclosing the bed with side strips.
Clean, consistent cuts. No vacuum issues. No hassle.
It’s a great reminder that the problem isn’t multi-ply cutting — it’s poorly designed cutting systems.
A few facts sewn goods manufacturers should know:• A properly engineered vacuum system can hold even tricky fabrics without wasteful consumables. • Our reciprocating blade cuts notches without lifting, maintaining cutting speeds in line with those of single-ply systems.• While many single-ply belt-driven machines require belt replacements every 12–18 months, resulting in downtime and hefty costs, we have customers running the same bristle bed for over 10 years with minimal maintenance.
Total cost of ownership matters. Uptime matters. Flexibility matters.If you’ve been told that multi-ply cutting means high consumable costs, excessive downtime, and slower performance, it’s time to see what’s possible.
