Key Features

  • 10 in color touch panel interface with parameter setting and recipe control.
  • Servo-controlled zero gap fold head with stainless tool steel blades and high-wear resistant low friction coating.
  • Innovative design for quickly exchanging the pleater setup from 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-pleats.
  • The PTF-240-A is built with a very high-quality benchmark resulting in a stable and robust design with minimal cost of ownership.
  • Easy-to-use user interface software with recipe control. Barcode scanners support as standard.
  • Fold head heating is standard. Optionally, the pleater modules can be fitted with a heating system.
  • The design is optimized for use in cleanrooms and can be very easily wiped and cleaned due to the smooth and closed surfaces.
