Fanfold Paper Folding Machines

High Speed Fanfold Kraft Paper Folding Machine

The SD-PF500B/PF800B converts a reel of kraft paper into fanfolded sheets with perforations in a single continuous process. The machine unwinds the paper, performs precise perforation and folding, and stacks the finished sheets onto a conveyor. This allows packaging producers to make their own pre-opened bags on a roll or fanfolded paper for use in automated bagging lines, replacing the need to buy finished rolls from third parties.

  • Converts kraft paper reels into fanfolded sheets with perforations in one pass, reducing reliance on external suppliers
  • Working speed up to 200 m/min (model PF800B at 150 m/min) enables high output for automated lines
  • Automatic lifting system simplifies reel loading and reduces operator effort
  • Perforation and folding length adjustable from 8 to 15 inches, with standard at 11 inches
  • Stacking via conveyor ensures consistent output for downstream automation or manual collection
Problems It Solves

Why Buyers Choose It

  • Buying finished fanfolded kraft paper rolls adds a supplier margin and long replenishment cycles
  • Manual folding of kraft paper is slow and inconsistent compared to automated fanfolding
  • Pre-opened bags on a roll are not available from local suppliers in some markets
  • Inconsistent perforation or folding length causes jams or misfeeds in autobaggers
  • Lack of in-house converting capacity forces reliance on third-party suppliers with limited flexibility

Comparison

How It Compares

Buying finished fanfolded kraft paper rollsIn-house converting removes the supplier margin but requires inventory of kraft reels and machine investment
Manual folding of kraft paperAutomated fanfolding is faster and more consistent, reducing labour and error rates
Fanfold paper cutting machineThis machine forms the fanfold and perforation; a cutting machine would be needed to separate sheets into pads
Use Guide

Running It On Your Floor

  1. Ensure the kraft reel is within 40-150 gsm and 1200 mm diameter before loading
  2. Use the automatic lifting system to raise the reel to the correct height for smooth unwinding
  3. Set the perforation length on the touch screen and confirm module alignment before starting
  4. Start at low speed and gradually increase to the target speed while checking fold quality
  5. Clean the perforation and folding rollers regularly to prevent paper dust buildup
