Fabric Double Folding Machine

Recently, fabric double folding machine is more and more welcomed for both textile retailer and manufacturer ,do you know the reason?

Because textile manufacturer sell the fabric to the retailer,and the retailer resale the fabric to personal or small stores. Or they even export to other countries. And due to some applications may need wider fabric like 4m,5m,etc. If the fabric roll width is too big,it is too difficult to be shipped and some shipping company has strict limitation for the fabric roll width,therefore,they need to fold the fabric to a narrower width,which is easier for packing and shipping.

The fabric always be double folded into two types

1. One is fabric roll.

Means the fabric will be double folded and then rolled on the paper tube,like bellow picture.

2. Another is fabric bolt.

Means the fabric will be double folded and then winded on a bolt,like bellow picture.

Two meet customers different requirements,SUNTECH developed two types double folding machine:

1. Fabric folding and rolling machine,output is fabric roll

SUNTECH understand customers requirements deeply and know their most concerned point,so the folding machine is specially designed to satisfied customers real demand. Let me share more details with you:

1. Fabric inlet form can be three forms: A frame,fabric roll or plaited fabric

Fabric Roll

A Frame

Plaited Fabric

 

 

2. How this machine make sure the fabric edge is aligned well?

A. First of all,there is a set of cloth guider at the fabric inlet position,which seems like a paw,which can make sure the fabric is in the center of the fabric roll,avoid it is deviated.

B. There is one set of edge alignment raster will detect two edges of folded fabrics and move left and right to align the fabric edges well automaticlly. The edge-alignmet error is less then 6mm.

3. Accurate fabric length measuring.

As different customer have different quantity demand,they may need 25m,50m,100m...etc. So supplier should measuring the fabric and then cut the length customer need. Our machine has this function:

A. length counting function: digital counter meter working wth wheel type encoder to realize accurate length measuring,measuring error is ≤0.1m/km

B.  length pre-setting function: prest a specified length on the control panel,like 50m,the machine will stop automatically when running to 50m,and then operator can cut the fabric by fabric end cutter.

Fabric Folding And Sewing Machine

The double folding and sewing machine is used for selvedge sewing of knit fabric for dyeing. Since lycra is used in textile industry,fabric heat fixing is required before dyeing,so raw tubular fabric need to be slit open,heat fixed and then sewn again into tubular form for dyeing process.

1. How this machine ensure perfect edge alignment?

A. At fabric inlet position,a set of pneumatic centering roller,which can make sure the fabric is in the center of the machine

B. Before folding, a set of costly center roller to center the fabric again.

C. During folding,a pair of edge alignment raster which can detect each edge of fabrics,if the fabric is not aligned well,the raster will move left or right to align the fabric edges well. The edge alignment error is 6mm.

2. How this machine open the fabric curled edges?

A. A group of scroll roller to open the curled edge at first.

B. A mechanical uncurling device to open the curled edges the second time,to make sure the raster can detect the edge.

C. Before sewing,a electrical uncurling device and a air blowing device can ensure fabric is totally opened for perfect sewing.

3. What kind of sewing way this machine use?

We use JUKI sewing machine and modify it according to actual operation. Once dyeing process is finished,the worker just need to pull the tread then the tubular fabric will be opened again,very easy.
