Fully Automatic Curtain Pleating Sewing Machine — Japanese Brother Head, Robotic-Arm Feeding, Single / Double / Triple / Goblet Pleats

The RIDONG Curtain Pleating Machine (also known as the pinch pleat or Korean pleat machine) is a high-precision industrial workstation engineered by Dongguan RIDONG Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. for creating professional curtain heads — the pleated band at the top of a drapery panel that defines its style and value.

Powered by a genuine Japanese Brother industrial sewing head and an intelligent touchscreen control system, the machine automatically calculates pleat depth, spacing, and stitching points from simple inputs (fabric length, finished length, pleat count). It produces flawless single, double, triple, and goblet pleats at 5–8 pleats per minute — dramatically outperforming hand-sewing while eliminating inconsistency.

Model Comparison — Three Configurations

RIDONG offers three pleating-machine configurations to match every production scale, from high-end fully-automatic factories to entry-level workshops:

Core Engineering Highlights

Genuine Japanese Brother Sewing Head: The heart of the machine is a 100% genuine, imported Brother industrial sewing head — globally renowned for durability, stitch accuracy, and thread tension control. Its powerful drive penetrates heavy jacquards, velvet, plush, and multi-layer blackout linings without skipped stitches or broken threads.

Robotic-Arm Feeding (RD-DZJ101): The fully-automatic flagship uses a robotic arm to clamp the fabric, feed it, and sew — the operator simply places the panel and presses start. Clamping eliminates fabric slip, so pleat height and spacing are virtually error-free (1–2 cm tolerance), requiring no skilled labor.

Intelligent Size Calculation: Enter the fabric length, finished curtain length, and desired pleat count on the 7-inch color touchscreen. The built-in intelligence instantly computes optimal pleat depth, spacing, and sewing points — no manual measuring or math. Save settings as recipes for one-touch repeat orders.

Servo Motor + Precision Ball Screw: High-performance servo drives paired with precision ball screws deliver pinpoint pleat placement, smooth quiet operation, and reduced energy consumption — stable, low-noise performance even at full speed.

Quick Pleat-Style Switching: Switch between single, double pinch, triple pinch, and goblet pleats directly from the touchscreen. The flagship model even handles thicker fabrics for triple pleats with the same precision as double pleats.

Pleat Styles You Can Produce

The machine covers the full spectrum of classic and modern drapery pleats:

• Single Pleat — A clean, minimal single fold — ideal for contemporary and lightweight curtains.
• Double Pleat (Pinch Pleat) — Two structured folds pinched together — the most popular standard for residential and contract drapery.
• Triple Pleat — Three rich, dimensional folds — the hallmark of luxury homes, hotels, and premium projects.
• Goblet Pleat — A rounded, goblet-shaped fold — an elegant European classic for formal interiors.

Fabric Versatility

Thanks to the Brother head and optimized feeding, the machine is a true all-rounder across fabric weights:

• Light & sheer: chiffon, lace, voile, light cotton, silk — gentle handling prevents distortion.
• Standard: polyester blends, cotton-linen, printed fabrics, standard blackout drapes.
• Heavy & luxe: heavy jacquards, velvet, flocked fabrics, multi-layer blackouts, thick plush, faux wool, embroidered drapes — the Brother head's core strength.
• Specialty: flame-retardant and coated fabrics — stable, consistent stitching.

Perfect For
