SAMA vs Camoga: Why Our Machines Are 100% Compatible

If you've been in the leather processing industry for any length of time, you know the name Camoga. The Italian brand has been the gold standard for band knife leather splitting machines for decades — but their machines come at a premium price, and spare parts can be expensive and slow to source.

That's why thousands of tanneries and leather goods factories around the world now choose SAMA Machinery. We've spent 24 years building machines around the same dimensions and fitting parts — the S420C, S520C, S420RC+ and S520RC+ share every part with their Camoga counterparts — at a fraction of the cost. In this article, we'll explain what that actually means for your business.

What "100% Compatible" Really Means

When we say our machines are 100% Camoga compatible, we mean every interchangeable part fits perfectly:

• Presser feet, feed rollers, blades, and grinding wheels are identical in size and fit
• All guide rails, clamps, and adjustment mechanisms match Camoga dimensions
• Our C and RC+ series machines use the same mounting points and working height as equivalent Camoga models
• If you already have a Camoga machine, all your existing spare parts and tooling will fit directly onto our machines — no modification needed

Same Performance, Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Our machines match Camoga in every metric that matters:

But unlike Camoga, we keep all spare parts in stock at our factory in Dongguan, China — so you get replacement parts in days, not weeks or months. And our parts cost a fraction of the price of original Camoga components, because we manufacture them ourselves to exact specifications.

We Also Sell Used Camoga Machines

Not ready to buy new? We also supply certified used Camoga machines that we've fully inspected, rebuilt, and tested in our factory. Every used machine we sell comes with the same warranty and after-sales support as our new machines.

For domestic customers in China, we also offer a trade-in program: bring your old Camoga or other brand splitting machine, and we'll apply its value toward a new SAMA machine.

We Repair Every Brand, Not Just Our Own

Because we've been making Camoga-compatible machines for so long, our technicians know Camoga machines inside and out. We offer repair service for all major brands of leather splitting machines, including Camoga, Fortuna, and others — whether you bought it from us or not. We also have every replacement part in stock, so you're never waiting weeks for a repair.
