For businesses like hotels, spas, or home textile brands, folding textiles manually is a tedious, time-consuming nightmare. Towels get lopsided, sheets take 2+ minutes per piece, and bathrobes—with their thick fabric and belts—are even harder to fold uniformly. But Huanlian Intelligent Packaging Group (and its subsidiary Dongguan Yihong Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.) has a solution: full-automatic folding machines that tackle all these textile types with ease, turning chaos into consistency. Here’s how they make it happen, and why it’s a game-changer for textile businesses.
First, adjustable folding modules adapt to different textile thicknesses. Take Huanlian’s textile folding machine (a core device for textile post-processing) – it has 3 sets of adjustable pressure rollers and 2 customizable folding blades. For thin towels (like face towels), the rollers use light pressure (0.3MPa) to flatten fabric without creases, then fold them into 20x30cm standard sizes in 3 seconds. For thick bathrobes, the pressure increases to 0.6MPa, and the blades extend 5cm to wrap around the thick fabric, ensuring the belt is neatly tucked in. A hotel we worked with used to have 5 staff folding 200 bathrobes daily (taking 4 hours); now 1 machine does it in 1 hour, with every bathrobe folded identically.
Next, sensor-based length detection avoids “one-size-fits-all” mistakes. Manual folding often messes up sheets—king-size vs. single-size get mixed up, leading to wasted storage space. Huanlian’s machine has infrared sensors that scan textile length in 0.1 seconds: when a king-size sheet (240x270cm) passes through, the sensors trigger 4 folds; for a single-size sheet (150x200cm), it switches to 3 folds automatically. No more manual adjustments or wrong folds! A home textile brand told us this cut their sheet folding error rate from 12% to 0.5%, and storage efficiency improved by 30% (since neatly folded sheets stack better).
Finally, integrated stacking & packaging saves extra steps. The best part? Huanlian’s folding machine connects directly to Yihong’s YH-ZA62F Disposable Four-Piece Bagging Machine (for textile packaging). After folding, towels/sheets/bathrobes are automatically conveyed to the YH-ZA62F, which bags them with airtight seals (to prevent dust or moisture). For example, a spa uses this line: folded towels go from the folding machine to the YH-ZA62F, get bagged with a “Sterilized” label, and are ready for guest use in 5 seconds per piece. No more moving folded textiles to another station—one line does it all.
For anyone drowning in textile folding, Huanlian’s full-automatic machines aren’t just tools—they’re time-savers, quality guardians, and efficiency boosters. They handle the messy, repetitive work so you can focus on what matters: delivering great textile products.
