This Heidelberg Stahl KH-78 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folding machine — dating from 2008 and currently located in France. Folding machines of this type are used in commercial print finishing to automatically fold printed sheets into a wide range of configurations, serving bookbinders, print houses, and finishing departments across the publishing and packaging industries. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the global printing industry, manufacturing press and finishing equipment trusted in professional print environments worldwide.
This machine is configured for versatile folding work, equipped with four buckle plates in a BCUH-78 arrangement, giving it the ability to produce a broad range of fold combinations. Two knife fold units extend its capability to fold types that buckle plates alone cannot achieve, making it well suited to complex finishing jobs. A side buckle is also fitted, further expanding the range of possible fold formats.
The feeding end is handled by a pallet feeder, enabling high-capacity, uninterrupted sheet feeding from a stack. A batch counter is fitted to assist with job tracking and output management, and an anti-noise hood is installed to reduce operational sound levels — a practical feature in shared or open production environments.
On the delivery side, the machine is fitted with an SBP-66 delivery unit with MKE and VE options, which dates from 2007, along with a belt delivery system for controlled sheet output.
Mechanically, the folding rollers were replaced in 2021 and the belts were renewed in 2024, indicating that the core wear components have been refreshed in relatively recent years.
