This Heidelberg Stahlfolder TD is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — used in commercial print finishing to fold printed sheets into a wide range of formats with precision and consistency. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing industry, producing press and finishing equipment for commercial printers, packaging operations, and related trades worldwide.
This particular machine dates from 2002 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It is configured as a two-station inline system with a substantial pocket count, making it well suited to complex, multi-fold work. The first station is a TD-78 unit equipped with six pockets, and the second station is a TD-66 unit carrying four pockets, giving a combined total of ten folding pockets across the line.
Sheet feeding is handled by a Roundpilefeeder RD.2-78, a round-pile feeding unit that allows continuous or near-continuous operation by enabling pile changes without stopping the machine. Delivery is via an SBP-M 86.D stacking delivery unit. The machine is further equipped with a glueing device, which allows adhesive to be applied inline during the folding process — a valuable capability for products such as direct mail pieces, self-mailers, or certain booklet formats.
Both rear-mounted and front-mounted slitter shafts are included, enabling longitudinal slitting of the sheet before or after folding depending on the application. A gate-fold unit is also part of the configuration, extending the range of fold styles the machine can produce to include gate folds, which are commonly used in brochures, invitations, and high-end promotional materials.
The seller notes that this machine is available at short notice.
