With the mantra ‘Right solutions at the right price’ Loiva has captured significant share in the highly competitive global market.The Korean pioneer would be present at Yamato’s booth at the JIAM show, with its popular innovations – Button wrapping and knotting Machine ST-10 and the Digital Button Feeder ST-12, along with Pneumatic edge guide FD-45 fixed on a Yamato workstation for side seam. Positive about the market for Loiva, Anshuman Dash, India representative of Loiva says, “We still have to explore 70% of the market, which is good as people are now actually going towards automation for productivity improvement and operational flexibility.”
The button wrapping machine ST-10 used for knotting and wrapping of buttons after providing looseness in a button stitch machine, provides a strengthened stem of button and in the process helps button-hole placket fit easily into the button placket. Also, after fixing the button there is no expending view of the button hole. With the maximum sewing speed of 3000 SPM, this sewing machine delivers high productivity. Using fully programmable LCD operation panel it is possible to select the button type (Shank/Flat), button height and wrapping & knotting frequency. Despite its many advanced features, the machine is very easy to operate, because the dynamic design of the machine allows a single operator to handle two machines at a time. Operator has to just feed the button into the slot and push the start button and on the completion of the cycle time, machine stops automatically and the thread gets trimmed.

The patented ST-12 button feeder attachment would prove to be another crowd puller at the fair. The innovation has a robotic mechanism device used to feed the buttons to the button clamp of the button sewing machine. No operator is needed to align the holes of the button. With its increased feeding speed, the sewing machine head speed can be used up to its maximum, which results in higher productivity. It can be easily installed to any brand of lockstitch button sewing machine.
Anshuman pressed on the fact that people should first understand the requirement of any automation or system and then invest for total utilization. “Cheaper production cost and greater flexibility depend on a lot of aspects subjective to every company, and if one is not able to define them,neither automation nor a system can ever work,” he concludes.
