The Josef Foellmer Perforator is a perforating machine — sometimes referred to as a paper perforator or hole perforator — used in print finishing and document processing to create precisely spaced perforations or grooves across sheets of paper and similar materials, enabling clean tear-off edges, binding preparation, and decorative scoring.
This used example, built in 2000 and located in Germany, is offered with a working width of 45 centimetres, accommodating material up to DIN A3 format. The table measures 60 by 35 centimetres, and the machine accepts a sheet insert height of up to 2.5 millimetres, allowing it to handle stacks of 10 to 20 sheets per pass depending on the material being processed. Both a front stop and a side stop are included, providing accurate sheet registration during operation.
The machine is equipped with two interchangeable combs. The normal perforating comb produces holes of 1.1 millimetres in diameter with a 45-millimetre pitch. The grooving comb offers a 50-centimetre working width and features a narrow pointed groove that is rotatable, producing groove widths of either 1 or 2 millimetres to suit different scoring or creasing requirements. A storage box measuring 530 by 300 millimetres is included for tooling and accessories.
In terms of physical dimensions, the machine occupies a footprint of 1,000 millimetres in length by 600 millimetres in width and stands 1,120 millimetres in height, with a total weight of 120 kilograms.
