This Bäuerle Multimaster CA is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folding machine — designed for the automated folding of printed and unprinted paper sheets. Bäuerle is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing high-performance folding equipment for commercial print shops, bookbinders, and finishing operations. This example dates from 2002 and is located in Germany.
The machine is configured to handle a working width of 52 cm and is equipped with computer control including a monitor, allowing precise, programmable fold sequences. Paper feeding is handled by a flat pile feeder FSA 52 with a suction head, which draws sheets individually from a stack for reliable, continuous operation without manual intervention.
The folding unit is arranged across three stations. The first station carries four folding pockets at 52 cm width, followed by a knife shaft — a mechanism that drives sheets into a pocket by means of a descending blade, enabling fold types that purely pocket-based stations cannot achieve. The second station adds a further four folding pockets, again at 52 cm, providing extensive flexibility for complex multi-fold programmes. The third station offers two folding pockets at a reduced width of 38 cm, suited to narrower folded products at the tail end of the fold sequence. Delivery is via a stream delivery system, which shingles the finished folded pieces into an overlapping stream for easy collection and downstream handling.
With ten folding pockets in total across three stations plus a knife shaft, this machine is capable of producing a wide range of fold patterns including cross folds, parallel folds, and combination folds commonly required in commercial print finishing.
