Machine Description
The Formax FD 38Xi Fully Automatic Touchscreen Document Folder delivers efficient, high-speed folding with a fully automated setup that simplifies even complex folding jobs. Capable of folding up to 17,000 sheets per hour, this model is an excellent solution for businesses, churches, schools, and print-for-pay centers requiring both productivity and precision in their document handling.
The FD 38Xi features a full-color touchscreen control panel with intuitive, icon-based navigation, allowing operators to set up and begin folding in seconds. With 18 pre-programmed fold settings and the ability to store up to 36 custom folds, it provides flexibility for nearly any folding task. The fully automated fold plates and AutoStack™ Stacker Wheels ensure consistent, professional results without manual adjustments. Operators can simply load up to 500 sheets in the hopper, select a fold, and walk away as the FD 38Xi completes the job in minutes. Folded documents are neatly organized on the telescoping conveyor for easy collection.
For added versatility, the FD 38Xi includes a dedicated Multi-Sheet Feeder that can fold up to four stapled or unstapled sheets at once, supporting both letter and legal-sized paper. The drop-in three-roller feed system provides smooth, accurate paper handling across a variety of stocks and sizes—from 3.5” x 5” up to 12.25” x 18”. Seven-point fold stops enhance precision, while AutoBatch™ programming allows operators to process batches with pauses between sets, making it ideal for mailings and print campaigns.
Optional accessories further extend its capabilities. The V-Stack36i Vertical Stacker holds up to 22” of folded documents, reducing handling time and improving workflow for high-volume environments. Combined with its quiet operation and compact footprint, the FD 38Xi provides an ideal balance of speed, simplicity, and reliability.
The Formax FD 38Xi is highly recommended for offices and production environments that require professional-grade folding with automated setup and superior consistency.
