  • Description

    Description

    Execptional miniature folding...

    • The only sheet-fed folder specifically designed to handle lightweight stock for pharmaceutical and miniature leaflet folding.

    Proven functionality and reliability...

    • Toothed belt and helical gears provide quiet slip-free operation.
    • Durable cast iron construction will withstand many years of constant operation.

    Built to fit your needs...

    • Each station is available with 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 folding plates—all fold down to 1⁄2".
    • Stations can be configured at a right-turn angle or parallel in tandem.
    • Standard sizes: 13-3⁄4" x 25-5⁄8" and 17" x 25-5⁄8".

  • Feeders

    Feeders

     

     

     

    R6 Round-Pile Feeder

    • The continuous-load ROUND-PILE FEEDER is for feeding longer-size sheets up to 40" long. Load slightly shingled paper onto the table and belts bring it down around a feed drum. 

     

     

     

     

     

    • ADJUSTABLE FLOATING BLOWERS (1), one on each side of the pile, make air blasts to lift and help feed long and difficult-to-feed stock.
    • TOP-SUCTION WHEEL (2) moves the sheets toward the folder with the aid of front air blasts and the side air blasts.
    • ELECTRONIC DOUBLE-SHEET DETECTOR (3) ensures quality production.

     

    SAF Bottom-Suction Feeder

    • This continuous-load BOTTOM SUCTION FEEDER has air channels in the side rails for separating sheets to aid the bottom suction drum in drawing the paper to the anti-static stainless steel register table.
    • A single control automatically synchronizes the speed of both the feeder and folder for smooth production.
    • A single-sheet control allows sheets to feed at a reduced rate to minimize setup time during changeovers.
    • The sheet length and gap between sheets can be controlled to accommodate gluing or other applications.
    • The vacuum time on the sheets can be precisely programmed to allow folding of stock as light as 27# offset.

     

    FL2 Flat-Pile Feeder

    • Suction heads lift the sheets at the REAR SEPARATING FEED SYSTEM (1). Air blasts aerate and separate the sheets, making it possible to feed long or difficult-to-handle sheets.
    • A DRUM SUCTION INFEED WHEEL (2), shielded by a safety cover, transfers the paper onto the registration table toward the folding rollers. Optional side air blasts aid in the consistent transfer of sheets.
    • A caliper-set double-sheet detector stops the feeder when a miss-feed occurs.
    • The rear separating feed system lifts up and out of the way for easy loading.
