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). Then you add a 2nd station for right-angle folds. 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, and right-angle signatures need the Baum 20 Series 2nd station folder. For 16-page work, add 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. We can spec the exact station set your run needs.
