ROWE VarioFold Compact

Large-format technical documents often arrive as unwieldy rolls or stacks, demanding precise folding for archiving, binding, or mailing. The ROWE VarioFold Compact solves this by automatically folding documents up to 930 mm wide and 4000 mm long into neat A4 or A3 packages at speeds up to 20 meters per minute. With ±1 mm accuracy and support for DIN, ANSI, and custom folding standards, it eliminates manual folding errors and saves hours of labor in CAD, GIS, AEC, and reprographics environments.
