KOLIBRI
KOLIBRI-IQ-LABEL
The T- APPAREL is able to make all kinds of folding patterns. After feeding the piece enters the lateral fold section. The lateral folds are made by air in combination with position controlled folding templates. The length of each piece is measured automatically for highest folding result. The controlled roof position insure folding of thick/stiff textiles as well as lite and slippery textiles and dry-fit. The long lateral fold section allows all sizes to be folded. After the lateral fold section, the piece enters the cross fold section. Up to 2 cross folds can be made, offering all kinds of folding patterns. In order to secure stable and high quality folds, both cross folds are made by air assisted reversing belts. Tight folded pieces are obtained as pieces are continuously kept between belts. The elastic belts ensure that the cross fold automatically adapts on thin as well as thick pieces. These belts are also pressing the piece, creating a tight folded result.
