GSM Core Size And Roll Diameter What Your Machine Needs To Know

The four material figures every machine quotation depends on, and what happens when the material you actually buy is outside them.

Fabric Weight Sets The Folding Window

Machines are built for a gsm range because fold quality, tension and cutting all change with fabric weight. Our bath towel folding machine converts 20 to 80 gsm, while the mulch line covers 17 to 80 gsm for agricultural fabric. Material outside the window does not simply run worse, it often will not hold a fold at all.

Roll Diameter Sets Shift Rhythm

Maximum raw material roll diameter, commonly 1000 mm on our lines, decides how often the machine stops for a roll change. Buying a machine with less diameter capacity than your normal purchased roll means paying for that decision every shift.

Core Size Is A Mechanical Constraint

Core inner diameter, typically 76 mm on our folding and rewinding lines, has to match the shafts. It is the easiest item to check and the most common cause of a machine standing idle on arrival.

Effective Width Versus Machine Width

Effective width is the usable web width, machine width is the frame. The AQ-GF(1800) spa sheet line runs 1800 mm effective within a machine width of about 1850 mm. Planning floor space from effective width alone leaves you short.

Send A Sample Before You Order

The same nominal fabric from two mills can behave differently in tension and ultrasonic bonding. We run customer material at factory run-off where a sample is supplied, and record the settings for your operators.

FAQ

Questions On This Topic

What if our material is heavier than the stated range?

Tell us before ordering. Some machines can be built with a wider window, and we confirm by running your sample.

What core diameter do your machines use?

Commonly 76 mm on folding and rewinding lines. Confirm your core size with the enquiry so shafts match.

Do you supply layout drawings with dimensions?

Yes, for every machine before shipment.
