Folders

Precision Series® Small Piece Folders

Parts never have to stop moving and feeds never have to be “paced” to prevent over feeding! Braun machines will process as fast as operators can feed, for the highest production rates in the industry.

Braun’s triple sort model processes just as fast as our other models. Unlike other manufacturers’ models it does not need to be slowed down for sorting.

Most narrow footprint in the industry

24V touch-screen controls – simple, intuitive and easy to use with available multi-lingual screen displays • Braun cross folds are made with a mechanical knife blade creating crisp, precise folds even on the thickest materials. Other machines use air nozzles making folds dependent on the quality of air being supplied and have difficulty folding thick items.

Cross folds in halves, thirds or quarters

In-feed wheels are user selectable between 2 and 4 wheels based on operator preference. 2 wheels are ideal for small parts and 4 for large parts as they help to ensure a smooth feed and taut leading edge.

Stepper motor width control for precise fold width adjustment from 6” to 14”

Auto-width detection automatically adjusts fold width depending on the part being fed.

Lint blow-off feature automatically cleans photocell lenses reducing maintenance.

All pneumatic actuators are controlled from a single-valve manifold located in the control cabinet. By keeping them all together in a centralized location, maintenance and troubleshooting are faster and easier than ever.

Soft start and stop provides a gradual ramp up, reducing chain and belt stress.
