Non Woven Fold Types N Fold W Fold And Half Fold Explained

What each fold does for the end user, which products use it, and what the fold pattern costs you in machine capability.

Half Fold

The simplest fold, used where the product is opened fully before use: bed sheets, bath towels, aprons and wide agricultural fabric. On wide web it is often applied twice, as on our AQ-R(3200) which folds a 3.2 m web in half and in half again before rewinding.

N Fold And C Fold

N and C folds create a compact stack that dispenses one sheet at a time without pulling the next. They are the standard for hand towels and lid-pack wipes. Our AQ-F platform produces N folds across a folding size range of 150 to 1000 mm at 300 to 500 sheets per minute.

W Fold And Interfolding

W folding interleaves sheets so the next one presents itself as the previous is removed. It is what dispenser customers ask for, and it is also used on agricultural fabric, where our mulch line W folds through four folding devices before cutting to length.

Special Shapes And Multi-Stage Folding

Garment products need combination folding. The AQ-500 apron machine folds in half across the width on a triangle board, then folds three times in length under servo control, holding the folded size within ±5 mm.

Choosing Without Locking Yourself In

Fold formats change with customers. Ask what the machine can convert to rather than what it does today: our folding boards and special-shaped folders are designed to be adjusted, and folding and cutting parameters are set for different materials and product specifications.
