Abstract
A folder apparatus is disclosed which is adapted for use with at least two adjacently arriving webs and having at least one fan wheel. The fan wheel is provided with a number of compartments delimited by guide disks to ensure, that in the case of different processing of the two or more webs, that all of the compartments therefor are used. The fan wheel of the folding apparatus is divided up into a number of laterally adjoining fan wheel sections, which number corresponds to the number of webs to be handled and able to be driven separately from each other by associated drive means.
