Large Format Paper Folder Rowe VarioFold

THE NEW ROWE VarioFold Compact folding machine.

Patented: offline becomes online.

More than half of all users of offline folding systems want to be able to fold online in the medium term. Up to now this has meant expensive re-construction of the folding system. With VarioFold Compact you can spare yourself this, thanks to its modular construction. This is the first folding machine worldwide that can be extended from offline to online with minimum outlay, even after it has already been put into operation. This guarantees you maximum security for your investment.

ROWE even goes a step further: whether it is the height adjustment that’s easy on your back, the whisper quiet folding, the patented endless folding or the user-specific folding programs – the VarioFold Compact can be extended at any time. This means it’s the first folding machine worldwide that grows with its user.

OFFLINE SAVES SPACE LIKE NO OTHER.

The VarioFold Compact is the user-friendly folding system that operates efficiently and is operated intuitively. The folding quality is the benchmark.

ROWE VarioFold Compact offline Floorstand

Perfect for all different heights

VarioFold Compact in the offline configuration is the compact system for professional folding. It is ideal for all folding volumes. Space requirement is, thanks to the Front Delivery Tray, minimal. Extremely ergonomic: the height adjustment means the VarioFold Compact adjusts exactly to your height – standard with all Floorstands.

ROWE VarioFold Compact offline Tablestand

Compact space saver

If you’ve had to do without a folding system in the past due to space restrictions ROWE now offers the best solution: the VarioFold Compact with Tablestand – an extremely space saving stand. Simply put the VarioFold Compact on a table e.g. the one previously used for manual folding. Thanks to its being extremely compact, this system is ideally suited to users who want automatic folding in a limited space.

UPERIOR FOLDING PRECISION AND MAXIMUM SECURITY FOR YOUR INVESTMENT.

ROWE is the benchmark for quality thanks to 60 years of experience and specialization in wide format.
