Fanfold Paper Folding Machines

Fanfold Kraft Paper Perforating and Folding Machine

The SD-PF500A converts a reel of kraft paper into fanfolded sheets with perforations in a single automated process. The machine unwinds the paper, applies perforations and folds it into a stack, which is then conveyed to a collection point. This allows a packaging producer to make its own fanfold kraft paper rolls for use in pre-opened bags on a roll, reducing reliance on third-party suppliers.

  • Automatically perforates and folds kraft paper into fanfold sheets for pre-opened bags on a roll
  • Stacks finished sheets via conveyor for direct collection, reducing manual handling
  • Operates at 90 m/min, enabling consistent output for high-volume bagging lines
  • Handles kraft paper reels up to 1200 mm diameter and 1 ton weight for long runs
  • Built-in unwinding stand supports up to 1 ton, reducing setup time between reels
Problems It Solves

Why Buyers Choose It

  • Manual folding and perforating of kraft paper is slow and inconsistent compared to automated processing
  • Buying fanfold kraft paper from suppliers adds cost and delivery delays
  • Inconsistent stack height or fold alignment causes jams in autobagging machines
  • Lack of in-house fanfold capability limits ability to scale bagging operations
Who It Is For

Who Runs This Machine

  • Packaging converters that already process kraft paper reels and want to add fanfold output
  • Pre-opened bag suppliers needing consistent, in-house production of fanfold kraft paper
  • E-commerce fulfilment centres running automated bagging lines requiring reliable roll-fed material
  • Sustainable packaging producers replacing plastic or non-recyclable materials with paper
Application

Where This Machine Is Used

Comparison

How It Compares

Buying fanfold kraft paper from a supplierIn-house production removes supplier margin and delivery delays but requires investment in machine and kraft reel inventory
Manual folding and perforatingAutomated processing ensures consistent fold alignment and stack height, reducing jams in autobaggers
Plastic pre-opened bagsPaper fanfold is recyclable and accepted in markets restricting plastic, though it is less durable in wet conditions
Use Guide

Running It On Your Floor

  1. Ensure the kraft reel is securely mounted on the 3 inch inflatable air shaft
  2. Set the target fold length and perforation spacing on the control panel before starting
  3. Start the machine at low speed and monitor the first few metres for fold accuracy
  4. Adjust the conveyor height and angle to match the collection point
  5. Keep the perforation and folding rollers clean to maintain sharp edges and consistent results
FAQ

Fanfold Kraft Paper Perforating and Folding Machine FAQ

What paper weight can the machine handle

It is designed for kraft paper from 70 to 100 gsm, suitable for fanfold and pre-opened bag applications.

How fast does it run in production

The machine operates at a maximum speed of 90 m/min, adjustable based on paper type and stability.

What power supply do you build it for

Standard is 380 V three phase, and we can build to the voltage and frequency of your country on request.

What is the footprint and weight for installation planning

The machine is 2800 x 1200 x 1300 mm and weighs 800 kg, so plan a level floor and access for a forklift.
