This GUK FA 36-4-SAF 36 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets into a wide range of formats at high production speeds. GUK, short for Grieser & Kunzmann, is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing precision folding and finishing equipment for the print and publishing industries.
This unit is built around a four-pocket folding unit with a 36 cm infeed width, allowing it to produce a variety of fold configurations in a single pass. It is equipped with an SAF 36 underfloor suction feeder, which draws sheets from below using blade removal, providing reliable and gentle sheet separation suited to a range of paper stocks. A preset counter with MCS is included, supporting job management and production monitoring directly at the machine.
Output is rated at up to 30,000 sheets per hour, making this a capable machine for medium to high-volume print finishing environments. The machine handles a maximum format of 36 × 45 cm and a minimum format of 36 × 9 cm, with the smallest achievable fold standing at 26 mm — useful for tightly folded products such as leaflets or inserts.
A downstream cutter block is fitted, enabling the machine to trim or perforate folded products in line with the folding process. Noise protection is also installed, reducing ambient sound levels during operation. A mobile shed display (SA) is included, providing flexible operator control positioning. Two optional buckle plate configurations are noted — a gatefold buckle plate and an alto fold buckle plate, each with a dedicated control unit — which would extend the machine's folding capability further.
This is a used machine from 1999, located in Germany.
