The main components of the pleating machine are pleating die, pleating mechanism, heating parts, cooling and setting system, control system, etc. A variety of beautiful pleated patterns can be produced according to different requirements. A great amount of work is required to change the gather height. It is necessary to readjust the position of the top platen so as to guide the pleats from the top of the heating device to the back of the pleating blade. The platen usually includes heating elements such as a heater at the bottom or a machine discharge tray.
After the top pressure plate is loosened, the pressure plate can be moved up and down by moving the grooved screw to the left and right until the correct position is found and a gap of medium thickness is left. This additional adjustment of the top platen increases the preparation time of the standard mechanical pleating machine or the old-fashioned pleating machine, especially when the adjustment parameters required by the new media are not known in advance. The adjustment options are greatly increased, so as to obtain excellent pleating effect and quality, and protect the medium to a large extent.
Polyester fabric is a common choice in machine creasing heat setting process. When high-temperature creasing and shaping, the temperature of the pleating machine is controlled at about 200 ℃. In actual production, the machine temperature should be adjusted according to the thickness and thickness of the fabric. The temperature corresponding to the thick fabric is slightly higher, and the temperature corresponding to the thin fabric is slightly lower. The wrinkle pattern is completely adjusted by different tools on the equipment. The pattern pressed by the machine is relatively regular and circulates in a certain rule. There are hundreds of pleats, and they are still under development.
