Automating folding tasks improves efficiency and consistency compared to manual folding, and folding assemblies can easily integrate into existing production lines. The two main automated folding techniques are Plow Folding and Buckle Folding. Plow Folding, used for side or book-style folds, involves a curved metal plate and roller to guide and crease the product as it moves down a conveyor. This compact system is ideal for high-speed, accurate folding in applications such as sealing booklets, folding cartons, and creating pamphlets. Buckle Folding, which folds from front to back, uses high speed and force. The product is driven into a buckle plate with a backstop, causing it to buckle and fold backward as rollers crease the fold. Though slower than Plow Folding, Buckle Folding is essential for applications requiring front-to-back folds, such as booklets, inserts, and magazines.

The MFT ip3 friction feeder is Multifeeder Technology’s flagship product. Integrated into system solutions by Multifeeder or purchased as off-the-shelf components, Multifeeder Technology friction feeders are designed for 24-hour operation. All of our friction feeders are powered by a 750 watt (one horsepower) brushless servo motor, making friction feeders strong and robust enough for the most demanding applications.
