What is a Buckle Folder?

A Buckle folder happens to be the most common type of paper folder there is. This type of paper folder is named according to the process it uses to fold paper. A Buckle machine uses a set of guides and plates with a backstop to buckle the paper and create the fold. The document will enter the folding machine through a set of rollers that automatically feed the paper into the machine. the paper is guided into a plate and will strike the backstop at the end of the plate. When this happens, the paper begins to buckle downward as it continues to be pushed into the machine and begins to move downward and fold through a set of nip rollers. The nip rollers grab the sheet of paper and pull it through, compressing a fold into the paper as it passes through the rollers. If you want the paper to have several folds, then the material would be sent through the paper folder again. The fold or buckle location is adjustable by moving the position of the stop mechanism. This allows a buckle folder to be an incredibly versatile folding machine.

Friction Feed Paper Folders
A friction feed paper folder is one that is equiped with motorized rollers at the opening of the paper folder. These rollers serve to pull the paper into the paper folding machine one at a time. A friction folder automatically takes the paper in from the in-feed tray and then folds it before spitting the completed document out the other end. With this ability the friction feed paper folder eliminates the problems associated with bulk folding projects. All friction feed paper folders offer letter folding options for all folding volumes. If you are operating a manual setup folder, you will have to adjust the fold plate to select tyour desired fold type. Because it has moving parts, a friction folder will need a certain amount of maintenance. Wearable parts such as the front rollers will wear out over time, and in less time if not taken care of. It is very common to have to replace these parts if you run your friction folder at maximum output for extended periods of time. Keep your paper folder running smoothly with roller cleaner and static eliminator.

Automatic Friction Feed Paper Folders
An automatic friction feed paper folder is similar to a manual friction feed folder except one is able to program an automatic paper folder. An automatic friction feed paper folder works when a tray is load with a stack of paper prior to operation. Each sheet is automatically fed into the machine individually. The operator of an automatic friction feed paper folder is able to select pre-set fold types or program in their own. Precise paper skew adjustment is made easier with this type of folder as well. These folders offer more power and a greater number of fold type options. For this reason, these types of paper folders are obviously more expensive than their manual counterparts. However, these folders offer more capacity and greater versatility, thus making them perfect for any medium to large sized office.
