Imperial Sewing Machine Co. Inc. specializes in industrial pleating equipment and specialty textile machinery for businesses. Our catalog includes box pleating machines, industrial pleating machines, pleating machine parts, reconditioned roll collander machines, and remanufactured slitters and winders. We serve customers from our office at 11136 Sage Thrasher Ave., Weeki Wachee, FL 34614

We offer machinery for pleating, pressing, cutting, and winding fabric. That includes box pleating machines such as the Box Pleating Machine 31-63 and 31-37, and 2-roll and 3-roll collander machines. It also includes slitters and cutters from Judelsohn, Towers, American Slitter, and Ace, and winders such as the 440 Universal Winder, the 400B Bias Winder, and the Utica Heavy Duty Combination Cutting and Winding Machine.

Our products are designed for businesses that use textile equipment in commercial production. Customers include pleating houses, apparel and uniform manufacturers, drapery and home décor producers, and companies that make bias binding, piping, and trim. We operate business to business rather than selling to retail hobbyists.

An industrial sewing machine is a sewing machine built for commercial production. It is designed to run for long hours every day, handle heavier materials, and produce consistent stitches at high volume. Manufacturers use industrial machines to make garments, upholstery, and other sewn products in large quantities.

Industrial sewing machines are more powerful, more durable, and built to run for many more hours per day than personal sewing machines. They also produce a higher-quality stitch at production speeds. Industrial machines are used to sew commercial products in large quantities. Personal sewing machines are designed for home use and lighter workloads.

A box pleating machine folds fabric into flat, evenly spaced box pleats and sets them in place. Box pleats are used in skirts, school uniforms, drapery, and decorative trim. An industrial box pleating machine keeps pleat depth and spacing consistent across long production runs.

We offer box pleating machines, including the Box Pleating Machine 31-63 and 31-37, along with industrial pleating equipment for crystal, bubble, push-up, and combination pleating. Each type produces a different pleat style. The right machine depends on the finished product you are making.

Crystal pleating produces very fine, narrow pleats and is often used in lightweight fabrics for dresses and skirts. Bubble pleating creates a gathered, textured effect using shirring springs. Push-up pleating uses blades to push fabric into folds. It is common on Mutual push-up machines.

Yes. We sell replacement parts for crystal, bubble, push-up, and combination pleating machines, including equipment from Mutual and Chandler. See the Parts & Components section below for the full range.

We carry blades, knives, and combs for crystal pleating machines, along with the springs and bands those machines use. We also stock Nomex covers for Mutual and Chandler combination pleating machines, shirring springs for bubble pleating machines, blades for Mutual push-up machines, and heating elements.

Yes. Blades, springs, bands, Nomex covers, and heating elements are the components that wear most often on pleating equipment, and we keep them in our catalog. Replacing a worn part can return a machine to production without replacing the whole unit.

Nomex covers are heat-resistant covers used on combination pleating machines, including Mutual and Chandler models. They protect the fabric and machine surfaces during the heated pleating process and wear over time with regular use.

Send us your machine's make, model, and the part number if you have it. Our staff will confirm compatibility before you order, which helps you avoid buying a part that doesn't fit.

Reconditioned machinery is used equipment that has been inspected, cleaned, repaired, and restored to working condition. It costs less than new equipment. For many specialty textile machines that are no longer manufactured, reconditioned units are often the only practical option.

Both terms describe used machinery restored for further service. In general industry use, remanufactured usually means a more extensive rebuild. The machine is taken apart and rebuilt to meet its original working specifications. Reconditioned usually means the machine was repaired and restored to working condition. Contact us for details on a specific machine.

Yes. We sell reconditioned 2-roll and 3-roll collander machines, including a 2-roll collander machine with a traversing device. Collander machines, also called calender machines, pass fabric between heated rollers to press, smooth, and finish it.

Our remanufactured inventory includes the Judelsohn 320, 340, and 360 slitters, the Towers Slitter with a 15-inch knife, and the American Slitter with a 15-inch knife. We also carry the Ace Strip Cutter with digital controls, the Cameron Slitter and Winder, the 440 Universal Winder, the 400B Bias Winder, the Judelsohn 320W Winding and Cutting Machine, and the Utica Heavy Duty Combination Cutting and Winding Machine.
