Formax FD 7202 Series Folder Inserter

The Formax 7202 Series Inserters combine user-friendly innovation with flexibility to bring your productivity to a new level. With a new 22” color touchscreen interface, the 7202 Series guides users through job set-up, including context-sensitive help on every screen. Its modular design offers up to 11 feed stations, with high-capacity feeders, and a standard capacity of up to 2,000 sheets. The 7202 Series has the power to process up to 5,000 envelopes per hour, including flats up to 10” x 13”, fold up to 8 sheets at once, and output up to 200,000 finished pieces per month.

Tower feeders contain sensors which automatically re-start after the empty feeder is refilled. Optional top-loading High-Capacity Versatile Feeders have been redesigned, making it easier to reload on-the-fly, and provide the ability to insert a variety of media, including glossy booklets, DVDs and small inserts up to 6mm thick. The top-loading envelope hopper holds up to 800 #10 envelopes or 500 flats, in landscape orientation. Inserting into landscape flats offers higher processing speeds, fewer jams, and lower envelope costs.

Additional user-friendly features include unlimited programmable jobs, and automated fold plate adjustment. Simply set the first fold plate and the second moves into place automatically based on media size. The Tower Feeder has the capacity to feed in either portrait folding or landscape orientation for inserting into flats. The Tower can be equipped with 1 or 2 CIS scanners with the ability to read codes on both sides of an insert, allowing for face-up or face-down feeding. An optional multi-read license is also available which reads Single-Track OMR, 2-Track OMR, BCR and 2D Data Matrix,
so there’s no need to upgrade in the future.

Standard features include a High-Capacity 4-foot Output Conveyor which can be used straight-on or at a 90 degree angle to the system, a high-speed/capacity Accumulator and Divert Deck which holds up to 300 sheets, and custom cabinets which provide ergonomically designed, moveable storage. Options include High-Capacity Versatile Feeders (with or without Intelligence), an Envelope Sorter/Diverter, and two different catch trays.
