Fanfold Kraft Paper Folding Machine
The SD-PF500A turns a kraft paper roll into a stackable fanfolded sheet pile in a single pass. It runs stock 470 mm wide kraft paper at 90 m/min and is designed for converters producing paper-based void fill or wrapping material without plastic.
- Produces fanfolded kraft paper sheets in one continuous process without manual handling between steps
- Automatically perforates and folds the web into a stackable pile, reducing labor and setup time
- Runs up to 470 mm wide kraft paper at a fixed speed of 90 m/min, matching common roll stock sizes
- Stacks output via conveyor for direct feeding into packing stations or storage
- Built for direct integration into in-house packaging lines replacing plastic wrap or manual folding
Key Benefits
- Produces fanfolded kraft paper sheets in one continuous process without manual handling between steps
- Automatically perforates and folds the web into a stackable pile, reducing labor and setup time
- Runs up to 470 mm wide kraft paper at a fixed speed of 90 m/min, matching common roll stock sizes
- Stacks output via conveyor for direct feeding into packing stations or storage
- Built for direct integration into in-house packaging lines replacing plastic wrap or manual folding
Application Scenarios
- Packaging converters producing fanfolded paper sheets for e-commerce void fill and wrapping
- In-house packaging departments replacing plastic wrap with a paper alternative at high volume
- Fruit, flower and ceramic packers needing a scratch-free, recyclable wrapping material
- Paper mills converting parent rolls into finished fanfolded sheets for direct sale
- Printing houses adding a paper folding line to support custom packaging orders
Who It Is For
- Protective packaging converters adding a paper-based folding line to complement existing plastic or foam products
- E-commerce fulfillment centers packing thousands of orders daily with consistent paper wrap
- Paper mills seeking to add value by converting raw rolls into finished fanfolded sheets
- Distributors supplying fanfolded paper into markets with plastic packaging restrictions
- Manufacturers of paper-based packaging systems requiring a reliable folding machine for production
Problems It Solves
- Manual folding of kraft paper is slow and inconsistent, leading to uneven stack heights and worker fatigue
- Plastic wrap is being restricted or taxed, and buyers need a paper-based alternative that matches throughput
- Third-party fanfolded sheets lack supply control and carry a margin that increases cost per unit
- Inconsistent fold alignment from hand folding causes jamming in automated packing equipment
- Lack of automated perforation leads to torn sheets and poor separation during use
Technical Features
- Performs automatic perforation, folding and stacking in one continuous process
- Conveyor system delivers stacked sheets to a collection point without manual transfer
- Unwinding stand supports rolls up to 1200 mm diameter and 1 ton weight
- 3 inch inflatable air shaft for smooth unwinding and roll handling
- Fixed working speed of 90 m/min with no speed adjustment available
- Machine powered by 380 V 3 phase supply as standard
- Built for 470 mm maximum material width, suitable for standard kraft roll stock

Compared With the Alternatives
Manual folding of kraft paper
The machine delivers consistent fold alignment and stack height, eliminating hand fatigue and variability
Buying pre-fanfolded sheets
In-house production removes the supplier margin and allows on-demand output without inventory
Plastic sheet folding lines
Paper is recyclable and avoids plastic regulations, though it does not provide moisture barrier
Use Guide
- Mount a kraft paper roll up to 1200 mm diameter and 1 ton on the 3 inch inflatable air shaft
- Set the perforation depth to match the desired sheet separation strength
- Start the machine at 90 m/min and observe the first few folds for alignment
- Verify that the stack height is consistent and the sheets separate cleanly when pulled
