What is a paper folding machine?

A folding machine is designed to fold paper or other materials into specific configurations. It automates the process of folding, saving time and ensuring precise and consistent folds. Paper folding machines can handle a wide range of paper sizes and thicknesses, making them versatile for different applications. Whether it’s creating folded brochures, maps, or preparing documents for further processing into books or magazines, folding machines streamline the folding process, resulting in efficient and professional-looking folded products.

 

Types of folding machines

Combination folding machines

One of the types of folding machines we offer is the combination folding machine. This versatile machine features a folding unit equipped with buckles and knives, allowing for the creation of easily manageable 4, 8, 16, and 32-page sections. The first fold is made using the buckles, while the cross folds are executed with the knives. You can identify a combination folder model by the letter “K” in its name.

For example, the K78/4KL model has an infeed width of 78 cm, 4 buckles in the first group, a cross fold knife (K), and a second cross fold knife to the left (L). Another example is the K66/6KZ model, which has an infeed width of 66 cm, 6 buckles in the first group, a cross fold knife (K), and two cross fold knives positioned on the left and right (Z).

 

All buckle folding machines

The second type of folding machine we offer is the all buckle folding machine. This machine comprises one or more folding units with buckles positioned at a 90-degree angle, facilitating cross folds. With an all buckle folding machine, you can achieve a wide range of folding styles. These models are designated by the letter “T.”

For instance, the T78/442 model has an infeed width of 78 cm, 4 buckles in the first group, 4 buckles in the second group, and 2 buckles in the third group. Similarly, the T66/664 model features an infeed width of 66 cm, 6 buckles in the first group, 6 buckles in the second group, and 4 buckles in the third group.
