The FD 38Xi is fast, folding up to 17,000 pieces per hour! Operators can load up to 500 sheets in the hopper, select their fold, press start and walk away to attend to other important tasks.  The FD 38Xi will fold the 500 sheets in as little as 2 minutes and hold the folded pieces on its patented Telescoping Conveyor System.
