3 Fold Filter Paper Folder
3 Fold Filter Paper Folder
The 3 Fold Filter Paper Folder is an automated laboratory machine by Motion Design Automation, designed to fold circular laboratory filter papers into a consistent cone shape for filtration workflows. It standardises filter paper preparation, improves repeatability, and reduces the need for manual handling.
Capable of processing up to 5,000 filter papers per batch, the system delivers accurate, uniform folds every cycle. Quiet and reliable, it keeps filter papers clean and ready for laboratory use, helping laboratories improve efficiency while maintaining high standards in sample preparation.
Key Features
- Walk Away Automated 3-fold filter paper - cone formation
- Handles up to 5,000 papers per batch
- Approx 486 papers per hour throughput
- Mainly suited to 103-grade laboratory filter papers
- Clean handling to maintain sample integrity and prevent contamination
- Consistent, repeatable folding performance
Applications
Suitable for laboratories carrying out routine filtration and sample preparation, including soil, food, dairy, pharmaceutical, environmental, and analytical labs.

Key Benefits
- Reduces manual filter paper preparation
- Produces consistent cone folds for reliable filtration
- Saves technicians time in high-throughput labs
- Keeps papers clean and reduces handling
- Minimises repetitive strain from manual folding
How It Helps
Manual folding is a small but repetitive task that adds up quickly in busy laboratories. Automating this step improves consistency and allows technicians to focus on higher-value work.
