Manual Spreading Machines

Sewn Products Equipment Company (SPEC) provides manual spreading machines that bridge the gap between manual labor and expensive automation. Designed for small-to-midsized production floors, these machines transform a two-person job into a streamlined, single-operator process. Manual spreading machines enable your team to double the spreading speed, eliminate fabric tension and ensure perfectly aligned edges for every cut.

Why Upgrade from Hand Spreading to a Manual Machine?

Efficiency is the primary advantage of a manual spreading machine. Instead of requiring two operators to pull and smooth fabric down a long table, a single person can push the lightweight machine along the track. The spreader carries the weight of the roll, allowing the operator to focus on alignment rather than heavy lifting.

Our machines feature advanced tension-control bars that feed the fabric onto the manual spreading table without stretching. This tension-free spreading ensures that every ply lies flat and relaxed, maximizing your fabric utilization.
​
A manual fabric spreading table also uses mechanical edge controls to ensure that each layer stacks perfectly on top of the previous one. This precision saves inches of fabric on every spread, which adds up to significant savings over a year of production.
