Baum 20-CFF Continuous Feed Folder
High-performance continuous feed folder with advanced automation and diagnostics for high-volume commercial print, mail, and signature folding applications.
The Baum 20-CFF Continuous Feed Folder is engineered for precision, speed, and reliability in demanding production environments. A 7" color touchscreen, Baum iFold tutorial system, and paperless roller gapsets streamline setup and operation, while robust slitter shafts, combination folding rollers, and a mobile delivery stacker maintain consistent quality across a wide range of stocks. Optional 8-page and 16-page right-angle units expand the system into a complete signature folding line.
