Melco releases the EMT16 PLUS modular embroidery system

Melco’s EMT16 PLUS

The EMT16 PLUS from Melco has all of the standard features and functions that made the EMT16 great, but with enhanced processing power that really unleashes the full potential of the machine.

In multi-head configurations, EMT16 PLUS embroidery systems will outperform conventional multi-heads by as much as 50%. Take a standard four-head embroidery machine, for example. When one of the embroidery heads must be stopped to change a bobbin or correct some other issue, production must come to a halt on the other three heads as well, because they can only operate unison. This is not the case with Melco’s EMT16 PLUS. Each head can be started and stopped independently of the others, creating a highly efficient production environment. This leads to increases in overall profitability for any embroidery business.

Engineers at Melco have been hard at work developing technology to control the bobbin with greater precision. This has led to an increase of 10,000 stitches per bobbin, approximately 33% better than previous Melco models. Not only is it more efficient, the stitch quality is also improved, most notably on small lettering.

EMT16 PLUS retains many characteristics of older Melco technology that have set the modern standard in embroidery technology. Thread feed is controlled with Acti-Feed technology, Melco’s patented thread control system. Thread feed is automatically monitored and adjusted, there are no manual tension knobs to adjust. EMT16 PLUS is a 16 needle system with a large 15.7×16.1in maximum sew field. For those that offer embroidery on hats, a cap attachment enables high quality embroidery on today’s popular styles. The wide angle cap frame offers a large 270⁰ sew field. In addition, the small cylindrical lower arm enables embroidery on a variety of products.

The EMT16 PLUS modular embroidery system is characterised by its versatility, ease of use and scalability.

Melco’s products are available in the UK through Amaya Sales UK.
