Overview of the MBM 93M Paper Folding Machine
When it comes to high-end office equipment quality, few manufactures have the reputation of MBM. MBM currently manufactures over a half-dozen different lines of machines including paper shredders, collators, paper drills and more. One of their more recent entries is paper folding machines. The MBM 93M, which replaces the 87M, is turning out to be a big hit.
The MBM 93M is a high-quality machine that fits in the entry-level market. While it isn\’t as basic as a desktop letter folding machine, it isn\’t designed for folding thousands of pieces a day either. It finds its mark folding a few dozen to a few hundred sheets of paper per day, making it perfect for mailing invoices, folding brochures and more.
The 93M is what people in the industry like to refer to as a friction feed folding machine. This means friction wheels, often rubber or silicon, grab the paper and pull it into the machine. This is perfect for most types of paper, however, it can be a bit problematic when folding glossy or coated paper. While some glossy or coated paper may work in the 93M, there is no guarantee. When, or if, the friction wheels slip on the slick surface, it often results in a paper jam.
This folding machine can be used with paper up to 80# thick, which is very robust for a machine of this size. This means the MBM 93M can be used to fold some card stock, which makes this machine excellent for folding wedding invitations and other promotional material. It can also be used to fold paper as thin as 16#, which is thinner than standard copy paper.
The folding plates on this paper folder are manually adjusted. While this may sound scary at first, it is actually pretty simple to do. Having set up this machine, and many other manual folding machines, I can safely say it takes me under 2 minutes to set this machine up. Folds are clearly marked on the two folding plates (color coded), so it is really easy to set this machine up without ever breaking out the manual.
The little motor in this machine reminds me of the little engine that could. While it isn\’t designed for high-volume folding on a daily basis, it definitely keeps up pace. The motor runs at a whopping speed of 7,200 pieces per hour. You shouldn\’t have any problems with this motor giving up the ghost. It should easily hold up for years without posing any problems.
While this is an entry-level machine, it does include a programmable paper counter and has batch folding options. It even has a sensor that turns the machine off when done. Considering that this machine, as of this article, costs less than $500, that is very impressive.
The MBM 93M can create all the common folds. This includes the single fold, letter fold, accordion fold and even the double parallel fold. Because the folding plates are manual, custom folds are a piece of cake. This machine even includes a powered exit conveyor, which helps keep paper lined up and organized as it leaves the machine.
In a nutshell, it can be said that his machine is one of the best desktop paper folding machines available. For the price, few machines even compare. ABCOffice.com has a great selection of paper folding machines. You will find the MBM 93M at ABCOffice.com.
