Other options Flow chart showing all options

The MS-45 knife folder is available to connect to the Smart-binder delivery conveyor.

The folder receives each booklet and knife folds it in the center. If ‘down folding’ then booklets are delivered to the left and if ‘up folding’ then booklets are delivered to the right (the fold unit can be rotated 180 degrees to allow either configuration).
