SWI Duplex folders are built for speed and durability. When designing the Duplex, we listened to what our customers wanted from an up & down folder. We listened to what they didn’t like about other machines on the market. The Duplex eliminates the inefficiencies seen in other up & down folders through intelligent design and incredible ease of use. Those of us who have used the SWI Duplex know that it’s easier to use than any traditional long folder.
We tested it with real flashings from one of the largest roofing companies in Australia. We now know that the SWI Duplex has at least 57.7% more capacity than a traditional long folder. In one test, we achieved 82.2% capacity improvement.
SWI’s latest model Duplex folder incorporates dozens of advancements in control and mechanical design, making them the preferred choice of the world’s largest and smallest roofing fabricators that include Kingspan in Europe and Metal Sales in the USA.
With the seemingly endless race to make folders move faster and faster, SWI has taken advice from Europe’s most experienced safety experts to engineer a machine that provides exceptional throughout with movements limited to sensible speeds that are less hazardous to operators.

Simple Operation
SWI Folders are internationally famous for their ease of use. All high-end advanced features can be used even by inexperienced operators, thanks to SWI’s clever 3D interface. This means less downtime, more production.
Backgauges
Comes with more Backgauges than our competitors. Eight Backgauges for an 8200 Simplex accommodating for parts as short as 500mm and with a range from 1220mm to 5mm. Speeds up to 500mm-per-second.
Optional Software Packages
ShopLink software links the SWI Slitter and SWI Folder together to eliminate shop floor data entry. The barcodes produced by ShopLink can be scanned at the SWI Folder to instantly load the folding program for each part. ShopLink can also be used to record coil consumption, production date & also keeps track of offcut stock.
eBend allows flashing & trim details to be sent directly from construction site to SWI Sheetmetal Machinery. Files automatically generated by the eBend app can be emailed directly to SWI’s range of Marxman slitters, Simplex & Duplex folders for direct manufacture without any further data input in the manufacturing process.
