FoldMaster Compact
Special Construction Features The special strength of the FoldMaster COMPACT is its reliable high performance of folding up to 1400 sheets per hour (ironing speed of up to 50 m/min.). 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. Modern textiles and washing techniques can cause static charges which can disrupt the operation of 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 antistatic device. ![]() For individual programming and operation, the FoldMaster COMPACT is equipped with KANNEGIESSER´s standard, user-friendly Control Panel type BT. The versatile KANNEGIESSER IBT Control Panel is available as an option. This system also automatically diagnoses any malfunction and can give a fault message in the form of a text on the display. The IBT also enables you to expand the system with the KANNEGIESSER Management Information System (MIS) and offers up to 99 programs. FoldMaster Standard

Model SFM
Special Features The special strength of the FoldMaster STANDARD is its reliable high performance of folding up to 1400 sheets per hour (ironing speed of up to 50 m/min.). Consequently the typical range of application the high speed ironerlines for large pieces, nevertheless it is also possible to fold small pieces. Modern textiles and washing technologies can cause static charges which can badly disrupt the operation of the ironerline. To avoid such trouble there is a special equipment including conductive transport belts, conductive coating of all rollers and plates with central earthing. Faults are stated by the machine itself and the corresponding fault appears as a text on the display of the panel. ![]() |

Principle
Length folding with airstream and crossfolding with a blade
The Combi can cater for a wider range of articles than any other folding system, whether napkins or aprons, theatre green items, heavy duvet covers or king-size polyester cotton sheets. It can produce a variety of fold formats while maintaining the same high quality.
This makes the FoldMaster Combi the ideal folding machine for smaller operations whose total production passes through the ironer line and which are sometimes required to deal with very small items. The machine is also suitable for larger operations that always require an ironer line for high quality items.

Stacking
The front edge of the item to be folded is measured transported with precision and then drops onto the stacking table when the take off conveyor retracts. The stacking table is lowered in accordance with the thickness of the item controlled by a photo cell and sensitive pneumatic system.
Due to the reverse folding principle the Combi JUNIOR is able to process a wide range of different articles from napkins, table linen and aprons up to heavy duvet covers or polyotton sheets ensuring an especially high folding quality.
Throughout the whole folding process the article is constantly controlled.
The front part of the item is lead by a movable guiding blade onto a separate belt drive. When the folding point is reached the guiding fingers move back between the belts of the main drive and a seperate belt moves in the opposite direction (reverse principle). This process ensures the exact fold.
If the item is not required to be folded it will by-pass all folding stations.


Exact folding precision and universal quality from nappies to fitted sheets.
The folding principle - template / folding wings for length fold - reverse belt for cross fold.

The high performance folding machine for dry laundry
The combination of reverse belt drive in the length fold, using a blade in the cross-fold for stacking according to the roll-out principle means that all commonly used length folds can be folds. This means that even fitted sheets can be folded.
