The Fabric Folding Machine manufactured by Niruma Textile Machinery plaits folded fabric into a neat, uniform stack — known in the industry as a plaiting or lapping machine. It is used after rolling, inspection or finishing so that fabric arrives at the retail counter, cutting floor or dispatch bay as an even, presentable, easily handled pile.

The machine is easy to install and operate and can be mounted on an adjustable type support, so it can be positioned to suit your existing table height and workflow. It handles both dry and wet fabrics, which makes it suitable for towel, jersey and pre-washed material as well as dry finished fabric.

Roller material is selected according to the application, and variable speed up to 80–85 RPM allows fine control. Capacity is up to 800 metres of fabric and 1.2 metre plaiting width, driven by a 3 phase motor with panel board and drive system. We build these as a textile machinery manufacturer and exporter in Ahmedabad, Gujarat since 1980.

How It Works — Operator Notes

Mount the machine on the adjustable support and set the height to suit your folding table. Guide the fabric evenly into the plaiting arrangement, then select the required speed on the panel board.

Variable speed is the key to a good plait. Use a lower speed for slippery fabrics such as jersey and satin, and a higher speed for firm woven and towel material.

Safety rods should remain in place at all times — they prevent operator accidents and stop foreign material from damaging the rollers. Clean rollers regularly as lint build-up causes uneven plaiting.
