One of MBM's top paper folders is the 352S 
Professional Series Air Suction Paper Folder.  This is one of the best 
devices for speed and precision performance.  The all steel construction
 is robust enough to stand up to the heavy duty use needed in quick 
print shops, copy shops, and digital printing environments.  The 
following is a closer look at the 352S.
Strengths:
- An air suction feed system differs from the standard 
 friction feed found on most paper folders. Polyurethane foam rollers
 eradicate the need for roller pressure settings and automatically
 compensate for changes in paper thickness. An anti-static strip smooths
 the way for use in high static environments as well as allowing
 carbonless paper through the machine. The low-maintenance turbine
 blower is completely enclosed for quieter operation and doesn't require
 filter changes.
- The fold plates automatically adjust within 
 seconds for both standard and customized folds. Dual fold plates are
 pre-programmed to create double parallel, letter, "Z", single, foldout,
 and right angle folds. You can also setup a wide variety of custom
 folds depending on your needs.
- A unique feed system allows 
 continuous reloading as well as reliable sheet separation. Paper is
 inserted on the top of the tray while the rollers pull from the bottom.
 Up to 450 sheets can sit in the hopper at once and fold as fast as
 30,000 sheets per hour! Variable speed control allows you to select a
 faster or slower speed if needed. Folded documents exit via powered
 conveyor belt.
- Paper is accepted in a broad spectrum of sizes
 and weights. Items as small as 3-3/8" x 4-3/4" can fold as well as
 12-5/8" x 17-3/4" and everything in between. Weights ranging from 13lb
 to 110lb bond are also able to be folded. The air feed system allows
 both glossy and coated stocks to go through the fold plates.
- MBM provides a one year warranty on this product, excluding wearables.
Weaknesses
- Weighing 312 pounds, this is a hefty piece of office 
 equipment. However, it comes with a stand mounted on casters for easy
 mobility. We think most users won't have an issue with this.
- One
 thing this folder is lacking is a counter. Counters provide the
 benefit of keeping track of folded items as well as offering batch
 folding. Depending on your needs, this may or may not be a problem.
 The Formax FD390 is a comparable machine that includes a counter.
- Another
 feature that would be nice is the option for multi-sheet combined
 folding. Again, many users don't need this option. But if your company
 often folds multi-page newsletters or invoices, you may want to
 consider a machine with this capability, such as the Martin Yale 2501
 Smartfold.
As evidenced by the many strengths, the 352S 
is ideal for a wide variety of businesses.  Professional print and copy 
shops will especially appreciate the ability to fold coated and glossy 
materials.  Simple use, functional design, and high speeds contribute to
 the convenience and efficiency of  this device.  We highly recommend 
this excellent machine for your next high volume paper folder.
