This Heidelberg Stahlfolder KD-78 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — dating from 2004 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines of this type are central to commercial print finishing operations, automatically folding printed sheets into brochures, leaflets, booklets, and other collateral with precise, repeatable results. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the global printing industry, producing sheetfed and web offset presses alongside a comprehensive range of finishing equipment, and their folding machines are found in commercial print shops and binderies worldwide.
This particular machine is equipped with a Palletfeeder PD 78 and a Tremat flat pile feeder, giving operators flexible sheet feeding options suited to different job volumes and stock types. The folding unit itself is configured with four buckle plates — adjusted manually — and three folding knives, a combination that allows for a wide variety of fold patterns including parallel, right-angle, and combination folds.
A notable capability of this machine is its capacity to fold up to 32 pages, making it well suited to the production of multi-page signatures for saddle-stitched or perfect-bound booklets. The four buckle and three knife arrangement supports the complex fold sequences required to achieve this page count in a single pass.
The machine is offered in used condition.
