18-E
MERROW INDUSTRIAL CROCHET STITCH MACHINE
The Advantage of the 18-E
The
Merrow 18E sews a 3/8" - 1/2" flat crochet stitch on blanket and
garment edges. It runs at speeds up to 1400 SPM, yet produces a stitch that
rivals any sewn by hand in craftsmanship and uniformity. The 18E is a single
needle, single thread machine that sews at a standard 4 SPI, but can be
adjusted to sew at a remarkable 10 SPI.
WHY it's better
The
18E runs at nearly 1500 stitches per minute, yet sews a stitch of such
distinction that it is sure to compliment even the highest quality blankets
and garments. Like all Merrow machines, the 18E is designed and built to last
for decades, providing operators with thousands of hours of uninterrupted
service.
HOW it's better
The
18E is hand-built, and this craftsmanship shows in its stitch. Using Merrow's
the latch hook system pioneered and perfected by Merrow, the 18E creates a
flat crochet that replicates the hand sewn stitch.
WHERE it's used
The
flagship crochet sewing machine from Merrow is used in large production
facilities, small businesses and homes. It is often used to edge blankets,
pillows, shawls, hats and mittens. With thousands of standard 'whip stitch'
applications, the 18E is the machine to use for small to medium production of
these application

HERITAGE
Since
1838 Merrow has manufactured the world's best overlock sewing machines. A Merrow
Machine is built to sew a more precise stitch and operate longer than any other
competitive sewing machine in its class. Merrow Machines are engineered and
manufactured more carefully, designed to last decades, and supported with a
network of 156 agents in 65 countries. The Merrow Sewing Machine is The Most
PRECISE and TOUGHEST sewing machine manufactured in the world
Overlock
stitching was invented by the Merrow Machine Company in 1881. Merrow's original
three-thread overedge sewing machine is the forerunner of contemporary
overlocking machines. Over time, the Merrow Machine Company pioneered the design
of new machines to create a variety of overlock stitches, such as two, and
four-thread sergers, the one-thread butted seam, and the cutterless emblem
edger. Today Two- and three-thread formations are also known as
"merrowing".
In
2010 Merrow Machines are engineered and built in Fall River, MA.

Cams
NOT pistons -- Proprietary Cam Technology - Different from all other Sewing
Machines
We're
the only manufacturer in the world building Cam-driven sewing machines that
stand up to heavy use. Merrow's Cam-driven machines produces a superior quality
stitch. Using sophisticated 5-axis computerized milling machines, we've
succeeded in developing proprietary high-technology components offering faster,
quieter, operation and remarkable durability.
Merrow
Cams are Machined to Exacting Dimensions
Tolerances
are held to .001: the tightest in the industry. They have been designed to
operate continuously between 2200 and 5500 RPM. Merrow Cams allow a Merrow
Machine to create a perfect stitch while ensuring that the sewing machine will
last a lifetime.
