🔥 High Output vs Low Output — The Real Gap in Filter Bag Tubing Lines
Why Most Chinese Tubing Lines Drop to 5 m/min —And Why KABORY’s High-Speed Tubing Line + Auto Filter Bag Sewing System Runs 10 m/min for Years
Whether you are new to filter bag manufacturing or upgrading an old factory, there is one industry truth you cannot ignore:
**❗ 90% of tubing lines from Chinese suppliers can only run at:
➡️ 5 m/min (long-term real production)**
You may hear them claim:
“⚡ Our machine can run 7–8 meters.”
But they never tell you the real story:
⏳ 8 m/min lasts only for the first 1–4 weeks
⏳ Drops to 6 m/min after 2–3 months
⏳ Falls to 5 m/min after 3–6 months
❗ And stays at 5 m/min permanently
This is not a coincidence.
It is a structural limitation of low-cost machines.
⚠️ Why LOW-COST Tubing Lines Always Drop to 5 m/min
1. ⛓ Chain Drive = Backlash + Wear + Vibration
Chain-driven systems have unavoidable defects:
- ⚠️ Backlash grows with speed → feeding becomes unstable
- ⚠️ Chain wear increases quickly → synchronization drifts
- ⚠️ High temperature → chain expands → speed becomes inconsistent
- ⚠️ More vibration → more needle breaks → operators forced to slow down
This is why suppliers dare to say:
“⚡ New machine can reach 8 meters.”
But they will NEVER promise:
“⚡ Still 8 meters after 6 months.”
Because it will NOT.
➡️ Real stable speed = 5 m/min
2. 🪵 Round-Tube Frame = Low Rigidity + Structure Bending
Most low-cost tubing lines use a round-tube welded frame:
- Thin walls
- Weak torsional strength
- Long frame bends over time
- Misalignment between forming → guiding → sewing
- High-speed vibration increases dramatically
As a result:
⚠️ The faster it runs, the more unstable it becomes
➡️ Final stable speed = 5 m/min
3. ❌ No Closed-Loop Tension Control (Manual Only)
Low-cost machines CANNOT do:
- No real-time tension feedback
- No automatic compensation
- No accumulator/buffer
- No synchronization between feeding and sewing
So when operators try to run faster:
- Fabric jerks
- Stitch lines drift
- Quality drops
- Needle breakage rises
Operators finally slow it back to:
➡️ 5 m/min — the only speed that doesn’t cause defects
📉 Summary: Low-Cost = Always 5 m/min
8 m/min = demo speed
5 m/min = real speed
And this is why Chinese low-cost suppliers NEVER guarantee long-term speed —
they simply cannot.
**🚀 KABORY High-Speed Tubing Line:
10 m/min Stable for 5+ Years
Still 9–9.5 m/min in the 8th Year**
KABORY is the only manufacturer that openly guarantees long-term speed.
Why?
Because our system is built differently:
- 🧱 Heavy-duty cast-iron / steel frame
- 🎯 Synchronous-belt drive (no backlash, no wear)
- 🔄 Real closed-loop tension control
- 📦 Integrated accumulator
- 🔧 Industrial-grade components
- 🕒 Designed for 24/7 multi-shift production
- 🛠 8–10 year mechanical lifespan
This is why KABORY can guarantee long-term speed.
Others cannot.
💡 Who Needs High-Speed Tubing Lines the Most?
1) New Factories
They quickly discover:
- 5 m/min cannot support business growth
- Too much manual work
- Low efficiency and unstable quality
- Hard to compete with faster factories
Industry lesson:
“Start with the right speed first, or you will buy twice.”
2) Old Factories Upgrading Capacity
Typical problems:
- Old tubing lines dropped to 3–4 m/min
- High downtime
- Lack of factory space
- Rising labor costs
KABORY solves all at once:
➡️ 1 KABORY line = 2 low-cost 5 m/min lines
➡️ No extra space
➡️ No extra labor
➡️ No extra utilities
Best ROI for mature factories.
📈 The Future: Not How Many Machines You Have — But What Speed You Run
Global trend is clear:
- Slow factories lose orders
- Fast factories take the market
- Speed = Production power
- Speed = Profit
- Speed = Competitive advantage
5 m/min belongs to the past.
10–12 m/min defines the next decade.
🏁 Conclusion
LOW-COST Tubing Lines
➡️ New machine: 8 m/min (demo only)
➡️ 3–6 months later: 5 m/min
➡️ Long-term stable speed: 5 m/min
KABORY High-Speed Tubing Line
➡️ 10 m/min stable for 5+ years
➡️ 9–9.5 m/min even in year 8
➡️ One machine equals two low-cost lines
High speed is not about being “fast.”
It is about doubling output, doubling efficiency, and doubling competitiveness.
