This GUK FA 54-4-F-TH is a flexo-folder gluer — a machine used in the printing and packaging industry to print, fold, and glue corrugated or solid-board blanks into finished carton boxes in a single inline pass. These machines are sometimes referred to as flexo die-cutter gluers in broader trade usage. GUK, short for Grieser & Kunzmann, is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for precision folding and finishing machinery serving the print and packaging sectors.
This example was manufactured in 2002 and is offered in used condition from a location in Germany. It accepts sheet formats ranging from a minimum of 16 × 16 cm up to a maximum of 54 × 80 cm, covering a wide range of carton sizes. The machine operates at speeds between 30 and 160 metres per minute, with an output capacity of up to 40,000 sheets per hour, making it well suited to medium and high-volume production environments.
Feeding is handled by a Gremser FN-TH flat pile feeder equipped with a rear edge separator, providing reliable and consistent sheet infeed. The system includes a Sütron MCS-106 preset counter for production monitoring, along with optical sheet arc control to maintain accurate sheet registration through the process. A mould sheet control system is also fitted, adding a further layer of quality assurance during the run.
The folding section is configured with one FW unit featuring four pockets in a 54 cm format, and downstream slitter shafts are included for inline slitting operations. Delivery is managed by an S-520 stream delivery unit designed for pre-folded products, with a separate S-520 shed display noted as part of the configuration though not pictured in the listing. The combination of folding, gluing, slitting, and stream delivery in one machine represents a comprehensive inline finishing line for corrugated carton production.
