Paper weight capacity runs from 40 g/m² lightweight stock through to 250 g/m² heavier board, allowing the folder to handle a wide variety of substrates without reconfiguration. The feed stack height reaches up to 650 mm, reducing the frequency of operator intervention during long runs.
Production speed is rated at up to 27,000 cycles per hour, reflecting the machine's suitability for demanding commercial environments. Power requirements are 400 V, 50 Hz at 2.5 kW. The machine measures 2,540 mm long by 1,790 mm wide by 1,440 mm high and weighs approximately 870 kg, figures that are relevant for planning floor space and assessing transport and installation logistics.
