HOZO Linen Folder Product Range
ZD Series — Standard Automatic Linen Folder
The industry standard for flat linen folding in commercial and industrial laundry. Programmable cross-fold and length-fold patterns accommodate bed sheets, duvet covers, tablecloths, and other large flat items. Single-side output. Speed-matched to HOZO Y and YH Series ironer output for continuous operation. Automatic stacking delivers counted, ready-to-store linen piles.
ZD Dual-Output Folder — Multi-Function Folding for Small & Large Linen
The versatile upgrade. Dual-side output allows simultaneous folding of two small bed sheets (hospital, spa, clinic sizes) at the same time, doubling throughput for small-format linen. Switch to single-output mode to fold standard large bed sheets and duvet covers — one machine, two operating modes.
Dedicated Pillowcase Folding
For high-volume pillowcase and small-piece folding, see our dedicated Pillowcase Ironing & Folding Line — HPZ and SZD Series process 1,500–1,800 pillowcases per hour.
Set cross-fold and length-fold sequences for different linen types. Switch patterns via control panel in seconds — no tools, no mechanical adjustment needed.
Speed-matched to HOZO flatwork ironer output for continuous operation. No bottleneck at the folding stage, even with 5–6 roll ironers at full throughput.
Consistent fold edges and stack alignment from first piece to last. Meets hotel and healthcare linen presentation standards automatically, shift after shift.
Folded linen automatically stacked in neat, countable piles at the output conveyor. Reduces manual handling between folding and storage or delivery.
