Industrial Dry work folding machines

Industrial dry work folders systematically process dry textile items like duvets, blankets, towels, bathrobes, and gowns. Smart sensor technology adjusts to different fabric thicknesses, ensuring neat folds and organized stacking.

How do industrial Dry work folding machines work?

Industrial dry work folder systems use simple automation to deliver perfectly folded linens. First, internal sensors quickly measure textile length to ensure correct alignment. The fabric then glides through a roller belt system that automatically adjusts to different thicknesses.

Next, strong mechanical blades and specialized belts make precise folds across multiple lanes. Finally, automatic sorting systems deliver finished items directly to stackers, keeping the entire process neat, organized, and ready for quick distribution.

Frequently asked questions about Dry work folder

What is the difference between a dry folding machine and a flatwork folding machine?

Dry folding machines are used for folding smaller dry textile items such as duvets, blankets, towels, bathrobes, and gowns after drying. Flatwork folding machines are designed for larger flat linen items such as bed sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, and napkins after ironing or finishing. Kannegiesser offers both solutions to help industries with demanding laundry requirements select the right folding technology.

Can Kannegiesser dry folding machines handle multiple item sizes in the same batch?

Yes, the Kannegiesser towel folder can sort towels into up to four different size categories. Our system can process towels with dimensions of up to 2.4 metres in length.

Can one dry folding machine handle different towel sizes and folding patterns?

Definitely. Kannegiesser dry folding machines offer flexible folding options to handle different towel sizes and textile types while ensuring consistent quality and efficient processing. A single machine can switch between folding programs, supporting up to 3 primary length folds, including half fold, third gold, and M-fold (French fold), as well as up to 3 cross folds depending on the machine configuration.

How many items can I fold with a Kannegiesser towelfolder?

“The Kannegiesser towel folder can process up to 1,200 items per hour. However, the actual output depends on the operator, as it is influenced by the size of the towels and the way they are presented to the machine. Larger towels generally require more time to feed into the folder. Kannegiesser designs its towel folders to ensure that the machine is always faster than the operator, meaning it is ready to receive the next item as soon as it is presented.”

What should I do if a cloth jam occurs, and how can I prevent it in the future?

Kannegiesser dry folding machines feature automatic jam detection to minimize downtime. If a cloth jam occurs, the machine alerts the operator for safe clearing before operation resumes. To help prevent future jams, regular maintenance, proper loading, and following recommended operating procedures ensure reliable performance.
