Needle for GK-9 Bag Closer Machine (26/230)

The Needle for GK-9 Bag Closer Machine (26/230) is the heavier-gauge needle in the GK-9 needle system, best for packaging units closing thick or multi-layer sacks. Size 26 (Nm 230) handles heavier thread and multi-layer PP, HDPE, jute and kraft paper bags that the standard size 25 (Nm 200) needle can struggle with.

प्रमुख विशेषताऐं

• Size 26 (Nm 230) — the heavier-gauge option in the GK-9 bag closer needle system
• Flying Tiger needle, printed with the code GKx9 on the pack — confirmed by us as the same needle system as DN/DNx1 (92×1, UY143GS) by direct measurement and machine fitting
• Fits the Imported Magneto Mini Portable GK-9 Bag Closer Machine and other standard GK-9 platform machines
• Same needle family also fits Newlong NP-7 / NP-7A and single-needle Gabbar bora silai machines, cross-referenced as DNx1, 92×1 and UY143GS on some needle charts
• Built for continuous industrial bag-closing runs on thick or multi-layer material

उपयोग के मामले

• Closing 25kg and 50kg rice, flour, feed and fertilizer sacks made from thicker or multi-layer material
• Packaging units running heavier polyester bag-closing thread that skips stitches on a standard size-25 needle
• Replacing a bent or broken needle during continuous bag-closing production

फ़ायदे

• Reduces skipped stitches and thread breakage on thick, multi-layer sacking material
• Cross-referenced part numbering makes it easy to confirm fit against an existing needle chart
• Keeps a GK-9 bag closer running without downtime from a mismatched needle

Size 26 (Nm 230) vs. Size 25 (Nm 200)

Both sizes fit the same GK-9 needle system, so the right choice depends on your sack material and thread, not your machine. This listing is the Flying Tiger needle sold under the GK-9 name — printed GKx9 on the pack, confirmed by us as the same DNx1/92×1/UY143GS needle system by direct measurement and machine fitting; for a 25-or-26 multi-needle Groz-Beckert pack sold under the Newlong/DNx1 name, see our DNx1 bag closer needle pack instead.

How to Fit This Needle

First, confirm your GK-9 bag closer, or a compatible NP-7/NP-7A or single-needle Gabbar machine, takes a size 26 (Nm 230) needle by checking your old needle or machine manual. Next, loosen the needle clamp screw and remove the old needle. Then, insert the new needle fully into the clamp in the correct orientation. Finally, tighten the clamp screw and run a test seam on a spare sack before starting production.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

What machines does this needle fit?

This needle fits GK-9 portable bag closer machines, including the Imported Magneto Mini GK-9. The same DNx1 needle system is also used on Newlong NP-7/NP-7A and single-needle Gabbar bora silai machines — check your old needle or manual first, since the Gabbar II twin-needle head uses a different, separately part-numbered needle.

What is the difference between size 25 and size 26 needles?

Size 25 (Nm 200) is the standard gauge for most woven PP, HDPE, paper, cotton and jute sacks with ordinary bag-closing thread. Size 26 (Nm 230), this needle, is the heavier gauge, better suited to thicker or multi-layer sacks or heavier thread, where a size-25 needle is more likely to bend or skip stitches.

Is this needle compatible with Newlong or Gabbar bag closers?

Yes, for Newlong NP-7/NP-7A and single-needle Gabbar bora silai machines, which use the same DNx1 needle family as the GK-9. It is not compatible with the Gabbar II twin-needle head, which takes its own separately part-numbered needles rather than a DNx1-system needle.

What is the price of a GK-9 bag closer needle?

This size 26 (Nm 230) GK-9 bag closer needle is priced at ₹75 (MRP ₹150) on StitchPartner, with Cash on Delivery and pan-India delivery available. Check the live price on this page before ordering, since bag-closer needle pricing can change with stock.

How do I know if I need size 26 instead of size 25?

Check the number stamped on your old needle, or ask what your bags are made from. If you are closing thicker, multi-layer sacks, or running heavier polyester thread, size 26 (Nm 230) gives cleaner penetration than the standard size 25 (Nm 200) needle.

Why does my bag closer needle keep breaking or skipping stitches on thick sacks?

The usual causes are a bent or blunt needle, the wrong gauge for your sack thickness, or a loose needle clamp screw. Step up from size 25 to this size 26 (Nm 230) needle on thicker or multi-layer bags, re-tighten the clamp, and run a test seam on a spare sack before restarting production.

Which bag closer machine brands use this needle?

This needle fits the GK-9 mini portable bag closer platform, which is sold in India under several trade names including Daisen, Messer, ESDA, Magneto and Pily, besides generic “GK-9” and “Balance” branding. If your machine is a mini imported bag closer on this same platform, this needle fits — check your old needle or machine plate to confirm before ordering.
