The CFM Foldmaster Compact has special strength in its reliability
for high performance folding-up to 1400 sheets per hour. The principle
involves air blast folding in the length folds, and mechanical blades
in the cross fold, work to ensure precision in the folding process.
Therefore, high performance large piece ironing lines are the typical
application for this machine. In addition, small articles can also
be folded lengthwise in multiple lanes.
Special Construction Features
Modern textiles and washing techniques can cause static charges
which can disrupt the operation of the ironing line. In order to
eliminate such problems as much as possible, appropriate precautions
have been taken. For example, special conductive coatings on all
rollers and support plates with an anti-static device.
Length Folds
Before each folding process, the articles hang freely - this is
a prerequisite for an exact, crease-free folding process. The articles
are continually guided between a pair of belts. Because the upper
and lower belts are driven, both inevitably run at the same speed,
therefore quality is assured.
 The
articles are measured in front of the folding stations - a measuring
wheel is used in front of the first folding station, and a photocell
in front of the next station.
The electronic sensors measure each piece accurately with a fine
measurement device (5 measurement devices per centimeter). According
to this data, the computer calculates the exact point of time for
folding including the desired amount of overlap.
The advantages of the air blast folding process used for length
folding are the reaction speed, the precision, the omission of numerous
wearing parts, and the simplicity of the multiple lane process because
tearing interlocking mechanisms are not needed.
