Product features
The Merrow 70-D3B-2 RAIL is a requirement for any automated processing facility. Designed to be mounted on a railway sewing system the 70-D3B-2 RAIL is the most reliable means of joining wide material when straight and square seams are essential.

The 70-D3B-2 RAIL is an end-to-end seaming sewing machine from Merrow, specially built for the continuous processing of fabric on semi-automated, or fully-automated equipment.
The Merrow Rail sewing head will fit all European and American made Sewing Railways
The Merrow Model 70-D3B-2 RAIL industrial sewing machine is derived from the industry standard Merrow 70-D3B-2 sewing machine for the endwise joining of piece goods. The 70-D3B-2 RAIL is a single thread machine with cutters that is produces a strong, flat, 5/8” stitch on a wide range of fabric.
WHY it's better
Railway operations create straighter more consistent seams across wide fabrics. The Merrow 70-D3B-2 RAIL when paired with a American or European Railway reduces spare parts consumption (fewer broken needles, needle carriers) and improves the quality of the seaming process.
HOW it's better
The Merrow 70-D3B-2 RAIL has an Adapted Design for pro-active feeding..the Merrow RAIL sewing head is designed to be pushed across the fabric by the railway (as opposed to pulling the fabric through on its own feed system).
WHERE it's used
the 70-D3B-2 RAIL is only used on railways, and the combined unit is often used in the following processes: Continuous Bleaching, Mercerising, Scouring, Washing, Drying, Pad & Steam Dyeing, Printing, Steaming, Shrinking (Sanforizing), Finishing, Tubular Processing, Slitting & De-twisting, Heat Setting, Napping & Shearing, Singeing, Calendering
The 70-D3B-2 RAIL is one of more than 350 variations of the Merrow 70-D3B-2
Railways do not come with the 70-D3B-2 RAIL and require additional investment.
