This GUK ZG 500 is a folding machine — specifically a mobile knife folding unit, sometimes referred to as a knife folder — designed to add an additional fold station to existing finishing lines. GUK is a well-established German manufacturer of folding and finishing equipment, supplying the print and bindery industries with high-precision machines built for demanding production environments.
Dating from 1999 and carrying serial number 40094, this unit is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It has been tested and is reported to be in good working order.
The machine accepts an infeed width ranging from a minimum of 150 mm to a maximum of 480 mm, and an infeed length between 80 mm and 320 mm. Infeed height is adjustable between 450 mm and 650 mm, allowing it to interface with a range of host machines at different working heights. Operating speed runs from 40 m/min up to 160 m/min, and the unit is rated for a productivity of 20,000 cycles per hour.
A notable feature of this unit is its self-contained electronic control system, meaning it operates independently without relying entirely on the host machine's controls. It is designed for mounting on folding machines from GUK, Heidelberg-Stahl, or MBO, and is also compatible with third-party equipment such as saddle stitchers and collating machines, making it a versatile addition to a variety of bindery and finishing configurations.
