Pleats, presses and cuts from a roll

摘要

AZCO Corp. has designed and manufactured a custom cut to length system with a material flow package, pleating station, and heat set station.The application required unwinding gauze from a roll, folding it into pleats, pressing it, and then cutting it to length. A motorised unwind feeds the material to drive rollers which advance the material into the pleating station. Stainless steel funnel guides take the gauze and fold it into pleats. Exit guides lead the material into the heat set station where heated idle rollers press the pleats into place. A laminar air flow of ionised air floats the product through the knife assembly, preventing static charge.The pleated, pressed material is then cut to length. An plate and clear anodised frame align the stations and support the unit.The system requires 110/230 VAC and compressed air.
