The FD 324 Document Folder offers an unmatched level of performance and affordability. This rugged, compact unit processes up to 8,600 sheets per hour in 11”, 14” and 17” paper sizes. Removable top and bottom fold plates provide for quick and easy set-up. Fold plates are clearly marked for four common fold settings: Letter, Zig-Zag, Double Parallel, and Half. Quick release fold stops and fine tune adjustment knobs ensure crisp, accurate folds every time.
Designed with ease of operation in mind, it utilizes a drop-in feed system, eliminating the need to fan paper. Simply square the paper stack and load it into the feed tray. The LCD control panel features a 3-digit resettable counter and AutoBatch, which allows users to process a specific number of sheets with a pause between sets, for easy unloading. Its output conveyor includes easily adjustable stacker wheels for neat, sequential stacking of folded pieces.
As with all Formax folders, the FD 324 is constructed with a heavy-duty steel frame and molded, high-impact side covers for durability. The three-tire friction feed accurately pulls paper info the folder, while the skew adjustment allows for moving the feed table left or right, to produce crisp, accurate folds.
Clearly-marked fold settings and simple out-of-the-box operation make it the perfect addition to schools, churches, and offices looking for easy setup and minimal adjustments.
