Need Help Repairing A Broken Paper Folding Machine?
Symptoms of a failing or broken paper folding machine are sometimes subtle and other times dramatic. Issues can result from worn-out rollers, severe paper jams, misaligned folding plates and much more. Don’t give up on your folding machine. You may be able to fix it.
To begin with, we have a Service Department here at ABC Office that specializes in fixing and repairing folding machines. They can often help you diagnose issues over the phone and help you get the parts you need to get the folding machine up and running. You can contact our Service Department by calling 1-800-658-8788 x129 or by filling out this form.
In cases where you are unable to replace the parts yourself, our Service Department offers a couple of options. Your first option is to send the machine in to our service department for repair. Your second option is to have our Service Department find someone in your local area.
Here are a few preventative maintenance tips you may want to consider using:
Roller Cleaner Rejuvenator (found here) – This is a type of cleaner that you can use to clean off paper dust and ink from the folding machine’s rollers. It also helps moisturize them, preventing cracks that tend to occur over time. Paper dust and leftover ink are two of the biggest causes of folding issues.
Static Eliminator (found here) – Static eliminator can be used on a folding machine to help cut down on static electricity. Static electricity also causes a lot of paper jams by causing misfeeds.
Unfortunately sometimes repairs are either cost prohibitive or repairs are simply not an option. We carry a great selection of both air and friction-feed folding machines found here.

The church has a A. B. Dick 58 folder. It is very old, but has been very reliable. Do you know anyone in our area that works on them? The paper will not feed down to the main roller. I can put one sheet at a time in, and push it through, but more than one, it will pull all through. I have ajusted the tension on this small roller that pulls it down to the rollers, but nothing happens.
Thanks, Deborah Grant

It sounds like some of the friction rollers may be wearing out or they may be dirty. What I can do is forward this over to our Service Technician and have her look into it. She is really good at fixing folding machines.
