The Formax FD-550 is a low-volume burster that offers industrial quality at an economical price. Virtually all of the standard features offered in the higher end models are available to meet any need or application.

The Formax FD-550 is capable of bursting forms with up to 4 parts at a speed of up to 200 feet per minute. Included slitters can trim margins up to .75 inches. The FD 550 burster features a base for added storage and height. Users with high volume will often run a Merger in-line with the burster to allow "two-up" processing. Two-up processing increases the output volume two-fold by taking a continuous business form printed two-up or side-by-side, slitting the two forms in the middle and feeding them into the burster in staggered format to come out of the machine in one neat and orderly stack.
