Machine Description
The Formax FD 3302 Air-Suction Document Folder provides professional-grade folding performance in a compact and quiet tabletop design. Built for modern digital printing environments, it uses an air-suction feeding system that handles coated, glossy, and heavy paper stocks with ease. This technology reduces static and prevents scuffing or feed marks that often occur in friction-fed machines, resulting in clean, consistent folds every time.
Designed for precision and productivity, the FD 3302 folds up to 18,600 sheets per hour and supports paper sizes up to 12.2" x 25.5". A powerful set of internal DC fans and a side air system deliver consistent airflow to ensure smooth feeding of large or heavy sheets. Operators can independently adjust fan speed and air pressure using external controls and the 4.3-inch color touchscreen interface, optimizing performance for different media types.
Setup is fully automatic—paper size and fold plate positions are detected and set electronically, minimizing manual adjustments. The FD 3302 includes six standard fold types, storage for 30 custom folds, a cross-folding guide, and a 625-sheet feed capacity. Optical and ultrasonic double feed detection ensures accuracy, while the four-digit counter with batch capability simplifies production runs. Four precision fold rollers and fault detection sensors further enhance reliability.
Engineered for quiet operation and ease of use, this folder is ideal for offices, print shops, and in-plant operations handling on-demand or short-run jobs. Its sturdy construction, noise-reducing insulation, and efficient air system make it a durable solution for high-volume folding of coated or heavy paper stock.
The Formax FD 3302 is recommended for organizations seeking an automated, high-speed folder designed for coated and heavy paper applications. Call us toll free at 855-880-7500 with any questions regarding this equipment. We want you completely satisfied with your purchase, which is why we include our Saddle Point Systems One Year Local Warranty for all Bay Area customers.
