Cross Folding
The first cross fold is performed according to the air assisted reverse folding principle. The leading section of the item is guided onto a seperate belt drive. As soon as the individually required folding point is reached, the belt drive changes its rotational direction (i.e. it reverses). The desired folding requirement is created and additionally fixed by an air blast. The permanent guide of the items between transport belts prevents the item from unfolding again. the folding gap automatically adjusts to different item thickness. Following length folding, the item is transferred to the transport belts of the cross folding station. The second cross fold is performed according to the principle of push-feed folding using a mechanical blade. The extremely wide cross folding station permits the realization of a larger number of folding patterns.

Operation and Control
The machine is operated from a centrally placed control panel, which meets practical operating requirements with it large, easy to read display, ergonomic push-buttons and directly available selection menus together with an operator guidance for the individually required programs.
