Written by Aashu, owner of Stitch Partner. We stock bag closer needles, thread and parts for packaging units and godowns, and “bora silai machine” is a phrase we hear on the phone almost every day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick answer<\/h2>\n

A bora silai machine (also written bori or boori silai machine) is a portable bag closer that seals filled sacks with a single-thread chain stitch. For a few bags a day, a plug-in portable closer like the GK-9 series is enough. If you work at loading points or fields without a socket, a cordless model is easier. For jute mills and heavy daily runs, Gabbar and Newlong-style closers are the usual choice, and what keeps them running is the right needle, thread and plate.<\/p>\n

What is a bora silai machine?<\/h2>\n

It is a handheld machine that you pull along the open mouth of a sack. A needle and a looper form a chain stitch, so there is no bobbin to refill. The same machine is called a bag closer, sack stitching machine or bora silne wala machine in different parts of India.<\/p>\n

The chain stitch is why a sack can be opened again by pulling the thread end. You can read how it forms on Wikipedia’s chain stitch page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bora silai machine buying guide: which type do you need?<\/h2>\n

\"Imported<\/p>\n

Plug-in portable closer.<\/strong> The Magneto GK-9 mini portable bag closer<\/a> weighs about 3 kg and has an aluminium body and an electric motor. It runs about 2,500 to 3,000 stitches a minute, has a built-in thread cutter, and lets you adjust thread tension and presser pressure. It suits warehouses, packing units and shops that seal bags by hand.<\/p>\n

\"Cordless<\/p>\n

Cordless closer.<\/strong> The cordless battery bag closer<\/a> works without a fixed socket, so it fits loading points, farms and open packing areas. It makes the same single-thread chain stitch on PP woven sacks, jute and burlap bags, and paper sacks.<\/p>\n

Gabbar and Newlong style closers.<\/strong> These are the machines you see in mills and godowns. Gabbar II uses two needles for a double seam. Our Gabbar bag closer guide<\/a> explains which needle goes with which model.<\/p>\n

Which one should you pick?<\/h2>\n
