M7/M8 – fully automatic folding machine

The M7/M8 are the profit centres for standard folds and products, especially in specific ‘niche’ areas.

All feeders with this unit, starting with the first folding unit onwards. As a result, subsequent extension with aggregates for lucrative additional tasks such as rubber coating, slitting in cycles, doubling paper or gluing products is possible. The M7 can be supplied in different working widths, from
42 cm up to 162 cm, as well as with up to 16 buckle plates.

Specific application areas for the M7 include:

• Special multiple folds such as pyramid shaped spiral fold
• Map folding machine
• Multiple folding in first or second unit allows the folding of maps in any style.
• Placards in formats up to 162cm x 205cm in size
• Direct mail production
