The CreaseFold has been developed to work on-line with the Creasematic 150 and Auto 50 programmable card creasers. It has been produced as an affordable, single fold, knife folding machine for Creasematic creaser customers producing a page creased and folded work. Photobook printers will benefit from this single folder together with Digital Printers who also produce regular 4 page leaflets, greeting cards, covers etc, all of which need a simple, single fold after creasing. The CreaseFold uses the latest high speed fold knife system developed for the Kasfold Bookletmakers, eliminating marking when folding digitally printed stock. The CreaseFold can also be hand fed where customers are using a desktop card creaser.

CreaseFold in Detail:

The CreaseFold simply wheels up to the rear of the Creasematic creasers, the two machines are secured in position by magnets on the base. When required the CreaseFold can also be fed manually without the need to separate it from the creaser. The CreaseFold requires minimal set-up. One in-feed side lay is fixed, the other is adjusted to ensure the perfect alignment as the sheet enters the CreaseFold. The operator set the fold position with one simple adjustment, a fold-tilt adjustment is available if required. The roller gap is adjustable with two easy settings to provide either a tight fold for lighter sheets which have been creased with a single point Channel Matrix crease or to a second more open position, when folding card creased with one of the three widths of steel matrix which produce a square box-shaped crase. Sheets are stacked on a high capacity, fold away conveyor. Unlike many folders which cause a heavy curl in the sheet when folding card, the CreaseFold technology prevents this, leaving the sheet virtually flat after folding. The CreaseFold is quiet in operation.
