What's the Difference Between the UniFold and the OmniFold?
In general terms the UniFold and OmniFold have or can be configured to
do nearly the same work. The main benefits of the OmniFold Automatic
Folder/Gluer are as follows:
- Constructed to be more heavier duty than the UniFold
- It is belt driven, offering easier maintenance of drive and product belts
- Utilizes Kluge's patented bearing bed drives
Why the choice?
The main concept behind designing two machines with similar
capabilities and functionality is that the UniFold can be purchased as
an entry-level, modular-constructed machine providing the customer with
a highly versatile folder/gluer with the option to add to as they grow
their business and expand their converting services.
On the other hand, the OmniFold has been primarily manufactured for the
established business that demands a range of unique features with
unmatched versatility and ease of use.
Additional features available for the OmniFold
Although many of the UniFold features cross over to the OmniFold, the OmniFold boasts additional feature benefits to maximise the converting potential of the machine.
Left and Right Registration
With integrated left and right registration the use of the Bump-90 becomes a simple and easy setup. Re-aligning after the 90 degree turn is made easy by dropping in the side guide and marble bar, then skew the belt left or right to guide the sheet. This is a huge time saving feature when converting 3-sided reinforced pocket folders or folders with a vertical and horizontal pockets in one pass.
Bearing Bed DrivesBy eliminating the friction between drive belts and the table, longer top drives of 18”, 33” and 36” lengths can be used for faster make-readies and better sheet control. The Bearing Beds easily lift out of the machine for cleaning and maintenance.
Belt DrivesThe entire system is belt driven with easy to access belt tensors. This drive system offers little to no maintenance vs. competing chain drive system or undersized belt driven systems. They are universally preferred on Kluge folder/gluer style systems.
Incline DriveThe incline drive can be positioned in angled or horizontal positions to return sheet to entry height after a buckle fold. The feature comprises of gas springs, four 2.5” wide belts, deflector chute and intermediate drive wheels.
