This Heidelberg Stahl KH 78 4 is a folding machine — also known as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets into a wide variety of formats for booklets, brochures, leaflets, and other commercial print products. Heidelberg is one of the most respected names in printing machinery, supplying offset presses, finishing equipment, and workflow systems to the commercial and industrial print industry worldwide.
This used example was manufactured in 2009 and is located in France. It is configured with a pallet feeder (PFH-82), which allows high-volume, uninterrupted sheet feeding directly from a pallet stack, making it well suited to demanding production environments. The machine carries four buckle plates in a BCUH-78 configuration, enabling a broad range of parallel, cross, and combination fold patterns. Two knife fold units are also fitted, allowing fold types that buckle plates alone cannot achieve and further extending the range of final formats the machine can produce.
Additional equipment includes a batch counter for tracking output and job management, and an anti-noise hood to reduce operational noise levels in the pressroom environment. Delivery is handled by an SBP-66-VE delivery unit, which was added or replaced in 2010, and handles the stacking and outfeed of folded products.
Mechanically, six folding rollers were replaced in 2025, representing a notable recent investment in the machine's core components and indicating that the folding section is in refreshed condition.
