Automatic Linen Folder
Our automatic linen folder seamlessly integrates with flatwork ironers to deliver complete finishing of linen. From bed linen and tablecloths to towels and napkins, the folder dramatically reduces labour costs and boosts laundry productivity.
Built for industrial and commercial laundries that demand consistent fold quality at high throughput, this automatic folding machine is the natural finishing partner for any flatwork ironing line. By automating what was traditionally a manual, labour-intensive step, it frees up your staff to focus on quality control, packaging, and customer service rather than repetitive folding tasks.

- Adjustable for various linen sizes
- Reliable, high-speed performance
Key Benefits for Your Laundry Operation
Investing in an automatic linen folder is one of the most effective ways to scale a professional laundry without proportionally increasing headcount. Operators consistently report shorter cycle times, more uniform fold quality, fewer rejects, and a noticeable drop in repetitive-strain complaints among staff. Because the machine works in line with the ironer, sheets and tablecloths move from washing to finishing to stacking in a continuous, controlled flow.
- Higher productivity: automated folding keeps pace with high-capacity flatwork ironers, removing the manual bottleneck at the end of the line.
- Consistent fold quality: programmable sequences ensure every sheet, duvet cover, or tablecloth comes out folded to the same specification, every shift.
- Lower labour costs: fewer operators are needed at the finishing stage, which is especially valuable in markets with rising wages or hard-to-fill laundry roles.
- Reduced re-handling: integrated stacking delivers ready-to-pack piles, cutting down on extra touches before items leave the laundry.
- Flexibility: adjustable settings make it possible to switch between bed linen, tablecloths, towels, and napkins as your daily mix changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of linen can the automatic linen folder handle?
The machine is engineered for flat items such as bed sheets, duvet covers, tablecloths, napkins, pillowcases, and towels, with adjustable settings to accommodate different sizes within its working range.
Does it work with any flatwork ironer?
The folder is built to integrate with flatwork ironers as part of a complete finishing line. Our team will help confirm compatibility with your existing ironer or recommend a matched ironer-and-folder configuration.
How much labour can an automatic folder save?
Manual folding is one of the most labour-intensive steps in a commercial laundry. Automating this stage typically allows operators to redeploy staff to higher-value tasks such as quality inspection, sorting, and packing, while keeping throughput steady.
Is the folder suitable for small laundries?
Our automatic linen folder is best suited to medium and large laundries that already run a flatwork ironer and need to lift productivity. For smaller operations, we also offer compact folding machines tailored to lower volumes.
