CIDAN MFB | Manual Folding Machine
Portable Precision & Segmented Folding Control
The CIDAN MFB manual folding machine is a precision short folding solution designed for accurate, flexible sheet metal folding in workshop and on-site environments. Built for metal fabricators, contractors and maintenance teams across Australia, it delivers reliable performance in a compact and portable format, making it ideal for custom fabrication and smaller production runs.
Designed with segmented tooling and a robust manual clamping system, the MFB enables precise bends with minimal setup time. Its ergonomic operation and adjustable clamping pressure support consistent folding accuracy across a wide range of sheet metal applications, helping operators maintain quality while improving efficiency.
The integrated T-groove backgauge allows flexible positioning and repeatable results for complex profiles. Combined with a foot-operated clamping pedal, the MFB simplifies material handling and improves workflow control, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive folding tasks.
Manufactured in Sweden and backed by the CIDAN Machinery Group’s 118-year engineering heritage, the MFB reflects CIDAN’s commitment to build quality, durability and long-term reliability. Supported locally by Total Rollforming, it provides Australian fabricators with a trusted manual folding machine solution for professional sheet metal processing.
