Formax FD 346 SmartFold Pro Air-Feed Folder
Formax FD 346 SmartFold Pro Air-Feed Folder
The Formax FD 346 is a high-performance, air-suction paper folder built to handle coated and digitally printed sheets with ease. Designed for demanding environments such as print shops, commercial finishers, and in-plant operations, the FD 346 processes up to 15,500 sheets per hour and supports a wide range of paper sizes and weights.
Its intuitive 4.3" color touchscreen allows users to select and customize folds with minimal effort, while automated fold plate and paper length detection features eliminate guesswork and manual setup. Unlike friction-fed folders, the air-suction system gently handles delicate or glossy stock without smudging or misfeeds.
With six standard fold presets and custom job memory, the FD 346 streamlines workflows and reduces setup time. Quiet operation and a robust steel frame round out this reliable, production-class folder.
