About this machine

This Heidelberg BUH 66-4 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — used in commercial print finishing to crease and fold printed sheets into signatures, brochures, leaflets, and other finished formats. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing industry, with a long history of manufacturing press and finishing equipment for commercial printers, packaging operations, and trade binderies worldwide.

Built in 2013 and located in Germany, this used machine is configured with a 66 cm inlet width and four pockets, providing versatile fold sequencing for a range of sheet sizes and fold patterns. It is equipped with two blind bags, which extend the folding capability to include parallel and combination folds that would otherwise pass straight through. The MCT control system is fitted, giving the operator electronic control over the machine's functions and settings.

A notable feature of this configuration is the inclusion of various substructures for adjusting the inlet height, with the current setup allowing the inlet to be set between approximately 83 and 97 cm — a practical consideration when integrating the folder into different feeder or conveyor arrangements within a finishing line. A ruler stop is fitted as FW 2, providing a defined and adjustable sheet stop position for accurate fold registration.

The machine is also equipped with double downstream slitter shafts with a lift kit, complete with tooling as shown. These slitter shafts allow longitudinal cutting of the folded product in-line, which is useful when producing multiple-up work or trimming folded signatures to a finished width without a separate slitting operation. The inclusion of the lift kit allows the slitter shafts to be raised clear of the web path when slitting is not required.
