For over a decade the UFO suction folding machine has been the best selling folder in its class - not just in the UK, but also in markets throughout the world.

A number of reasons contribute towards the UFO’s appeal. These include: high productivity, with over 30,000 sheets per hour achievable on 8½" x 11" size paper, large capacity, loading on the run, proven reliability, flexibility and a versatile range of cross-folding attachments. In addition, heavy-duty construction ensures that UFO folding machines will give years of productivity and hold a high residual value.

The UFO 1 takes a sheet size 25.1 inches x 17.7 inches.

To ensure that the UFO maintains its status as a market leader, the latest generation UFO folders have been made even better with the introduction of two new innovations.

A new 'head-up' display control panel ensures that an operator can control virtually all functions of the machine from a simple to use but ergonomically positioned panel. These operations include controlling speeds, the gap between the sheets as they are fed and the amount of suction used to feed the sheets. In addition, the controller offers counting and batching with total sheet production indicator. The new panel will rotate through 180 degrees to enable an operator to work from either side of the machine. This is particularly useful when using the optional cross-fold attachments, which can work to either the left or right of the folder enabling a wider range of folds to be produced.

The fold plates now incorporate a digital display. This shows the distance the fold plate is from the fold rollers and can be micro adjusted by 0.003" to give superb accuracy. All adjustments including tilting the fold plate can be made without lifting or removing the fold plate covers.
