Device for folding and collapsing endless corrugated paper webs into flat sheet element sections, has several support elements guided on circumferential track for supporting sheet element at intended folding positions of sheet element

摘要

The device comprises a feed device (6) for transporting the sheet element (2) in the feed direction (V), and several support elements (8) which are guided on the circumferential track (10), for supporting the sheet element at the intended folding positions (12) of the sheet element. The support elements have an individual drive control and are displaceable perpendicular to the feed direction of sheet element. The sheet element is horizontally oriented in the feed device. An independent claim is included for a method for folding and collapsing a foldable sheet element into flat sheet element sections.
