This Heidelberg Stahlfolder TD is a used folding machine, sometimes referred to as a paper folder, dating from 2001 and currently located in France. Folding machines are essential postpress equipment in commercial and industrial print finishing, used to fold printed sheets into a variety of configurations for brochures, booklets, leaflets, and other printed products. Heidelberg is a globally recognised name in the printing and print-finishing industry, producing equipment trusted by commercial printers and trade binderies worldwide.
As configured, this machine is equipped with a round pile feeder, which automates sheet feeding from a stack and supports high-volume production runs. The folding system is described as comprising three progressive units: a 78-format unit with six fold loops, a 66-format unit with four fold loops, and a 56-format unit with two delivery mouths. This combination-fold configuration allows a wide range of fold patterns to be achieved by routing sheets through successive buckle and knife sections, making the machine well suited to complex multi-fold work. The machine is also noted as including a VSA press unit, which is a delivery pressing attachment used to flatten and consolidate folded signatures as they are delivered, improving the quality and consistency of the finished product.
