Advanced Control
The advanced touch-screen control features a series of graphic menus to eliminate operator language barriers. The control enables 20 program options to fit specific folding requirements and utilizes network communication with feeders and ironers. To facilitate optimum productivity, the control features management capabilities including reporting on item/program counts and overall operating time.
Adaptable to All Ironers
The laundry-feeding belt has a multi-position design, which means it is adaptable to any ironer on the market – no matter the manufacturer or roller diameter. The design of the primary folder and the adjustable speed control with inverter make the FL-Smart Folder capable of processing up to 164 feet per minute to match specific ironing speeds and production requirements. Finally, the folder can be used in sync with a rotary stacker or a drop stacker.
Precision Folds
Support plates and a band circuit hold items flat and secure throughout the primary folding phase – ensuring unmatched folding precision. A support system further reduces the movement of the article and improves folding quality.
First Cross-Fold – Adaptable to Linen Thickness
The thickness of the article is automatically taken into account during the first cross-fold. A retractable pneumatic roller works in conjunction with a mechanical blade to automatically adjust the opening distance for the thickness of the item. This ensures thicker items – duvets, bedspreads and large sheets are precisely folded. The folder's oversized width of 35.5 inches further aids in the proper passage of larger items with fewer folds.
Maintenance-Free Transmission & Self-Cleaning Reflectors
A toothed-belt transmission reduces noise levels and eliminates the need for lubrication that's required by chain-driven transmissions. To further simplify maintenance, the photocell reflectors are cleaned automatically as laundry passes through the folder.
Distributing Valves Built to Last
The electromechanical sliding distributing valves that are responsible for creating the air blasts needed for folding, feature an estimated life 10 times greater than traditional distributing valves. The more reliable electromechanical distributors not only ensure uniformity and quality folds, they contribute to reduced air and electricity consumption.
Safety and Durability
Designed for ease of use and safety, the FL-King complies with all safety regulations and directives. For ease in carrying out maintenance or cleaning photocells, the folder features a service walkway and safety handrail. The folder is backed by a limited two-year manufacturer's warranty.
Options
- Small Piece Accumulator: Incorporated into the rear of the folder, this accessory collects small items, such as napkins, pillowcases and tea towels. It allows insertion of items on four lanes. With this accessory, the Folder will not perform any fold.
- Double Antistatic Bar: This accessory ensures the folder operates properly during high static conditions. It is recommended when working with synthetic items with high fiber content or in very dry environments.
