Formax AutoSeal® FD 2096 Mid-Volume Production Pressure Sealer with BottomAir Feed

Secure Processing of One-Piece Mailers

The AutoSeal® FD 2096 uses patented pressure seal technology to efficiently process cut-sheet pressure seal forms in a mid-volume production environment, at speeds of up to 30,000 forms per hour. Its bottom-suction air-feed system provides accurate feeding and allows for continual loading of forms, dramatically reducing down time.

Set-up is quick and easy with rugged metal fold pates, clearly marked with both standard and metric markings, and fold rollers made of heavy-duty polyurethane foam, which eliminates the need for gap adjustments. The sealing unit utilizes an adjustable 17” ball transport deck for a smooth, reliable transition from the fold rollers into the sealer.

User-friendly features include sound-dampening fold plate covers for quieter operation, a 6-digit resettable LED counter, rugged locking casters, and a high-capacity 24” output conveyor which is collapsible for convenient storage when not in use.

Heavy duty construction combines with quick set-up and operation to make the FD 2096 a powerful solution for processing mid-volume pressure-seal mailings.
