How the Baum 20 Series fold stations build up
The Baum 20 Series is a modular floor folder. You start with a feed and 1st fold unit (pile-feed or continuous-feed), add a 2nd station for right-angle folds, and add this 3rd station when jobs need higher page counts and extra cross, roll, or accordion folds. Match the station to the job: parallel folds run on the base unit, right-angle signatures need the Baum 20 Series 2nd station folder, and 16-page work needs this 3rd station. Mid-State Litho carries the Baum 20 pile-feed folder, the Baum 20-CFF continuous feed folder, the 20 Series 2nd station, and the inline 20 INF, so we can spec the exact station set your run needs.
