APACHE AIR Towel Folding Machine

Technical description

APACHE AIR is a high-productivity, high-precision towel folding machine suitable for processing all types of towels.

The machine detects both the length and width of the items fed into it, enabling it to apply the correct sequence of folds and counter-folds and to place the finished item on the corresponding stacker below.

The folding process is divided into two distinct sections:

  • The first two side folds, typically made along the long side of the fabric, are created using air jets and counter-pressures that determine their width.
  • The counter-folds (across the garment that has already been partially folded) are performed at the rear of the machine using proven air-jet technology between the rollers (first counter-fold) and a cutting blade combined with a reversal of the conveyor belt’s direction (second counter-fold).

Structural features

  • Control panel for selecting and managing folding programs via touchscreen.
  • Automatic recognition system for "up to 3 dimensions" without requiring further operator intervention on the program.
  • Customizable programs to "force" recognition and fold special items, such as sheets with corners and garments (smocks, T-shirts).
  • Vacuum-assisted feed table.
  • Bypass for longitudinal folds and counter-folds (1st and 2nd).
  • Up to 4 stacker-extractors aligned on the discharge conveyor.
  • Ejection of bundles onto the discharge conveyor with an automatic extraction-type deposit mechanism.
  • Conveyor belt with dual motorization for bundle accumulation, adjustable toward the operator or to the opposite side.
  • Output of folded and stacked bundles on the right or left side relative to the feed side, with the option for future reversibility.
