Automatic Intelligent Drawstring Threading Machine for Apparel

Thread waistbands and hood cords with one machine. No hand strain, no extra workers.

This drawstring threading machine is built for one job: getting cords through waistbands and hoods without a line of workers doing it by hand. It replaces 3-4 people on the line and takes the hand strain out of the process.

It runs on a dual servo direct-drive system, so it's quiet and steady. The touch-screen panel switches between sizes in one click—no mechanical adjustments. It works with eyelets and button-holes, and handles all common drawstring materials: cotton, polyester, elastic, you name it.

For garment factories dealing with labor shortages or inconsistent threading, this machine evens out quality and keeps production moving. It's not a fancy gadget; it's a practical tool that pays for itself.

Highlights
Key Advantages
  • One machine covers 3-4 workers' output on drawstring threading. Your labor cost drops, and you don't worry about call-offs.
  • Dual servo drive means the needle moves exactly where it should, every time. Thread breaks drop, and the machine runs quiet enough to have a conversation next to it.
  • Touch-screen panel: select size, press start. No manual cam changes or screw adjustments. Changeover takes seconds, not minutes.
  • Works with eyelets and button-holes. If your trousers, hoodies, or sweatshirts have either, this machine threads them.
  • Cotton, polyester, elastic cords, flat or round—if it fits the eyelet, the machine feeds it. No special cord prep needed.
  • Consistent threading means fewer returns for loose or missing drawstrings. That's a quality issue you can forget about.
Use Cases
Applications
  • Waistbands on trousers and joggers. Thread elastic or cotton cords through eyelets or button-holes without slowing the line.
  • Hood cords for hoodies and sweatshirts. One operator loads the garment, the machine does the threading, and the garment moves on.
  • Sportswear and casual wear production lines where drawstrings are a standard feature. Fits right into your existing flow.
  • Factories making pants with drawstrings for kids or adults. Works with small eyelets and shorter cords without jamming.
  • Any shop looking to cut manual threading stations. Put the machine between sewing and packing, and reassign those workers to other tasks.

FAQ
FAQ
What drawstring materials does it take?
We run cotton, polyester, elastic, and those braided cords on it all day. As long as the cord diameter is between 2 and 6 mm and it's not super slippery, it works. If you have something unusual, send us a sample.
How fast does it thread?
Cycle time is about 4-6 seconds per garment depending on cord length and operator speed. In an 8-hour shift, one machine can do what 3-4 people do manually.
Does it work with both eyelets and button-holes?
Yes. The machine is set up to handle both. You just choose the mode on the touch screen. No hardware change needed.
How do you change from one cord length to another?
On the touch screen, you select the length preset. The machine adjusts automatically. It stores up to 20 presets. If you're changing cord type or eyelet size, the operator might need a minute to swap the threading tip, but that's rare.
What's the training time for an operator?
About half a day. Load garment, press pedal, unload garment. The screen is intuitive. Most operators are comfortable by lunchtime.
What support do you offer after purchase?
One-year warranty, online video support, and we keep common spare parts in stock. If something breaks, we ship next day. We can also send a technician if it's a major issue, but usually a video call solves it.
