This Heidelberg 52-4-KB-FL-SAK is a flexo-folder gluer, a type of machine used in the corrugated packaging industry to print, fold, and glue flat corrugated blanks into finished boxes in a single, continuous inline process. These machines are sometimes referred to as FFGs or folder gluers. Heidelberg is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history in printing and converting equipment, serving the packaging and print industries worldwide.
This particular machine is configured with a flat pile feeder, which presents pre-cut blanks from a flat stack rather than a rotary feed, and is equipped with four pockets at an inlet width of 52, making it suited to a range of box formats within that dimension. The KB designation refers to a sword-type folding unit, a mechanical arrangement used to guide and crease the corrugated sheet during the folding stage of the process. A mechanical paper thickness setting allows the operator to adjust the machine's gap and pressure parameters to suit varying board calipres without electronic intervention.
The machine includes an electronic control system for operational management, complemented by a preset counter to monitor and tally output. Soundproofing is installed, reducing ambient noise levels during production. The SAK 56.3 shed display is also present, providing the operator with a visual readout relevant to the shingled or stacked delivery of finished boxes.
This is a used machine from 1987, currently located in Germany.
