  Full Profile

  The Air Chicago Quattro automatic sorting towel folder utilizes a specialized four-lane conveyor configuration to fold, crossfold, sort and stack up to four different-sized towels, pads and other tumble dried items. Operators can auto-sort by size or sort by item placement on the feed table, allowing close-in-size but different items to be correctly sorted. Once the item is identified, the CHI-Touch processor chooses the correct fold pattern to produce a crisp and accurate French fold. Newly redesigned lightweight dual drop doors stack items in one of four internal drop zones with like items in pre-selected stack heights where an exit conveyor then smoothly and accurately transitions finished stacks to a master conveyor line. Another unique and innovative breakthrough from Chicago®.
