Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021111189A2] Equipment for folding paper as part of a flow wrap process is described herein, where the equipment includes a folding shoulder configured for folding paper prior to entrance into a forming box or other downstream equipment. The folding shoulder includes one or more protrusions, optionally in the form of rollers, to reduce stress concentrations in the paper as it flows along the underside of the shoulder, thereby reducing creasing and/or breaking of fibers in the paper.
