Groz-Beckert Introduces SAN® 11 GEBEDUR®
Germany-based Groz-Beckert KG has added the special application needle SAN® 11 GEBEDUR® to
its product line. The eye of the new needle has a special shape designed to ensure good loop
formation in automated sewing processes that have multidirectional feeding systems.The needle also
features an unusually deep-shaped scarf to enable very close positioning of the looper to the
needle, which significantly reduces skipped stitches as well as thread and needle breakage,
according to Groz-Beckert.GEBEDUR needles are coated with titanium nitride to protect against wear
and damage, especially at the point. New SAN needles are developed in an ongoing program that
targets specific applications.
