What is the function of the Woody Stringer?
ANSWER: The Woody Stringer functions as a fully automatic decorating system that can produce an infinite amount of string-type decorating designs by making simple adjustments.


How does the Woody Stringer work?
ANSWER: Decorating material is pumped to the Stringer and the movement of the nozzle tube determines the designs. The decorating material passes through our patented motor driven strainer and cleans the decorating material before it reaches the nozzle tube, preventing clogs.
