NEEDLE DETECTOR
We started the company in 1999, to supply advanced technologies to the garment industry with our 20 years of engineering and garment manufacturing experience. United Machines is a famous brand in the textile industry because of our effort to bring the most advanced and affordable needle detector machines.
To deliver safe garments to the customers, the textile manufacturers need the most reliable Needle Detector to detect needles after sewing from the garments. Needle detector machines were an unaffordable machine to most of the garment manufacturers. To help the manufacturers, United Machines have come up with efficient, reliable, and highly advanced needle detector
machines with various customizing optional at the most affordable price. We introduced the most cost-effective needle detectors two decades ago and continuing the legacy until now.
HISTORY OF NEEDLE DETECTOR
The food manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors have used metal detectors for over fifty years now, where their use virtually mandated by the product liability legislation and general food safety requirements.
On the other hand, the use of metal and needle detectors in the garment manufacturing industry not adopted until 1990. The awareness started with a couple of incidents that happened due to a broken needle left behind in children’s clothing in the early 1990s, particularly one in which a baby’s face injured by the broken needle. The supplier quickly alerted many retailers in Britain about the potential danger caused by broken needles left behind in garments.
Immediately the supplier alerted all the retailers in Britain to the potential danger caused by broken needles left behind in garments. The risks this entailed, legal and financial, as well as the loss of reputation, were sufficient to convince them of the need for implementing formal needle detection procedures that did not rely on human intervention alone.
As a result, the garment suppliers all over the world instructed to check all baby and children’s wear for metal contamination, with the help of metal detectors such as needle detectors, usually as part of an overall safety policy aimed at eliminating any opportunity for metal pieces like broken needles, from any source, to contaminate the clothing in the first place.
Now almost all the garment buying agencies and retail chain stores made a mandatory rule of using conveyor type needle detectors to check the broken needle in the clothing and as well as shoes. The buying agencies and retail stores have laid down a needle detection procedure to be followed by garment manufacturers all over the world. Penalties will be imposed on the garment manufacturers if any metal detection found on the garments.
A recent survey study indicates that there are more than 7 to 11 garments are contaminated by broken needles in a sample size of 1000 Garments. Shoes are usually at higher risk of needle breakage than garments, because of the material type and thickness.
Metal detection is now an integral part of the textile and apparel production process and is an essential quality assurance requirement for manufacturers supplying to leading brands across the world.
