 The models AFM and AFM-S provide fully dried work folding technology. The operator places the leading edge of the item to be folded on an inclined longitudinal transport system while color coded belts ensure that the items are centrally fed.
The Length Fold Principle
Two pneumatic plates arranged around the template use efficient jet nozzles to direct the item to be folded around the folding template. To obtain a neat folding edge, the pneumatic plate blows over the spread item in parallel and with a low spacing. The guided high-speed air jet resulting from the Venturi effect raises the outer areas of the item to be folded. Immediately after this, the air can blow beneath the lateral sections of the item up to the folding template. The item to be folded now fits around the folding template due to the air cushion formed.

Stacking and Sorting
The unsorted items now have to be made available to the dispatch department in the form of precise stacks and sorted according to article types. In addition to folding, the AFM-S also performs stacking and sorting as it can recognize and identify each item according to the parameters stored in the program. Following cross folding, the item is transported to the individual pre-selected stacker. The stack height is automatically adjusted following each deposit. |
