ENGINEERING IN DETAIL

SERVO-CONTROLLED FOLDING MECHANISM

High-precision vacuum absorption system forms 1/4 fold and 1/8 fold geometries with servo-controlled accuracy. Achieves speeds up to 180 m/min for N-fold patterns and 130 m/min for complex 4-6 fold configurations. Ensures consistent interfold positioning for reliable dispensing in standard napkin holders and dispensers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Single-Head configuration features one production unit capable of 1/4 fold or 1/8 fold geometries, with line dimensions of approximately 15.4m x 7.5-9.5m depending on configuration. The Twin-Head version features two parallel production units for double output capacity within a similar footprint (15.4m x 9.1m). Choose Single-Head for standard restaurant and hotel production; choose Twin-Head for high-volume export or large-scale manufacturing requiring maximum throughput.

1/4 fold is the standard format for restaurant and hospitality napkins, creating a compact square when folded. 1/8 fold creates a smaller, more compact naplet format ideal for beverage service, compact dispensers, or markets requiring minimal storage space. The 1/8 fold option is only available on the Single-Head configuration (not on Twin-Head) and requires specific line dimensions of 15,932mm x 9,484mm with lamination unit.

No. The line is configured with either an Embossing Unit OR a Lamination Unit, not both simultaneously. The Embossing Unit creates texture patterns using steel-to-steel nest-to-steel technology. The Lamination Unit applies point-to-point adhesive for multi-ply construction. You must choose one finishing option at order configuration, though both deliver premium quality suitable for branded hospitality napkins.

The servo-controlled folding system achieves 0-180 m/min for N-fold patterns and 0-130 m/min for complex 4-6 fold configurations. Speed varies by fold type: 1/4 fold operates at higher speeds, while 1/8 fold requires more complex handling. The automatic single-pack packaging module synchronizes with folding speed to maintain continuous flow without bottlenecks.

The is a complete production line including automatic single-pack packaging integrated directly from the factory. This distinguishes it from standalone folding machines which only fold and require separate manual or semi-automatic packaging equipment. The line delivers finished consumer-ready packs automatically from jumbo roll input.
