Floor Model Folder
Pictured with optional right
angle, high capacity feeder.
The Model 4040 vacuum feed folder is a compact
floor model that will save you precious floor space, save you setup time and
doubles your production. It is equipped with Profold's patented "No-Set-Gap-Set"
technology, which takes the art out of folding. Gap setting is eliminated. Our
patented Prothane Fast Track Grooved fold rollers provide long-life and the
tightest of folds.
The Model 4040 has a feeding performance of up to 40,000 sheets
per hour with 8 1/2" x 11", twenty pound stock. It is equipped with a stacking
tray capacity of 1,000 sheets. The bottom vacuum feeder allows continuous
reloading and operation. Adding our optional High Capacity Feeder more than
doubles your stacking capability.
We have eliminated the need for a register table by feeding
directly into the first parallel fold section. This reduces floor space
requirements by one-third.

Super Elite 500 Vacuum Feed
Tabletop Folder
The Profold Super Elite 500 Vacuum Feed Folder
(SE500VF) is a compact heavy-duty tabletop model.
It is equipped with Profold's patented "Prothane Fast Track
Grooved" fold roller. "Prothane" rollers have no affinity for laser or copier
toner, providing longer roller life. The "Fast Track" grooves in the fold roller
allow air to escape, producing tighter folds and superior control of paper
stock, including coated stock. The grooves allow toner to escape adding a
self-cleaning feature to the fold roller. Self-cleaning "Prothane Fast Track
Grooved" roller yields smudge free stock.
Side-guide manifolds and a vacuum wheel feed eliminate the need
for fanning. Profold has installed skewed paper side-guides on the feed table
with micrometer adjusting screws. This permits fine control corrections for ream
edge cut variations while the folder is operating. The skewed guides are more
effective and easier to adjust than folders requiring fold plate paper-stop
adjustments. They also eliminate the need for a separate register table.

toner, providing longer roller life.
