This Heidelberg ST 300 .1 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a folder or paper folder — designed to fold printed sheets into signatures, booklets, brochures, and similar products as part of a finishing or bookbinding workflow. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing and print-finishing industry, producing equipment trusted by commercial printers, trade binderies, and packaging operations around the world.
This machine dates from 1999 and is offered used from a seller based in Germany. It accepts untrimmed sheets ranging from 480 × 320 mm down to 128 × 92 mm, with trimmed sheet sizes from 474 × 305 mm down to 120 × 89 mm, giving it a versatile format range suited to both standard and smaller work. Maximum operating speed is 13,000 cycles per hour.
The configuration included with this machine is notably comprehensive. Feeding is handled by one UFA 300 cover folder feeder, four TAS 300 vertical drum feeders, and two TAL 300 horizontal drum feeders, providing flexible sheet-feed arrangements. Sheet monitoring is managed by seven sequential feeder monitoring units (SAW 300), supporting reliable, automated detection across the feed path. Delivery is via one missing sheet belt delivery unit (B 300).
For stitching and stapling, the machine is equipped with one ST 300 stapler complete with staple control (HKK), four eyelet stitching heads (RH 52/8), four normal stitching heads (NH 52/8), and two narrow stitching heads (Hohner 48/5), making it capable of handling a range of saddle-stitching and binding operations. A trimmer 300 with centre cut for two-up production is included, fitted with a punching knife with air for cut-out (specification 6).
Additional equipment includes four wire large coil carriers, a small format device, one transfer marking table, one shed display (SA 300), two compressors (KTA 140), and a Rima RS 10 S bookbinding compensating stacker for organised output collection. This is a fully accessorised system representing a substantial inline finishing capability.
