The Heidelberg Stahlfolder VF is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — dating from 2006 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines of this type are used in print finishing to fold sheets of paper into a wide variety of configurations, serving commercial printers, bookbinders, and finishing operations across the printing industry. Heidelberg is one of the world's most recognised names in print technology, manufacturing equipment for prepress, pressroom, and postpress applications.
This unit is designed as a height-adjustable sword folding station intended to complement existing buckle plate and combination folding machines, functioning as a third folding station and enabling a more operator-friendly U-shaped layout. It handles a maximum sheet format of 52 × 36 cm and a minimum format of 12 × 10 cm, with a rated speed of 160 metres per minute.
A notable feature of this machine is the ability to swivel the sword folding unit by 180 degrees, which enables the production of an international quarter fold — a versatile fold type that broadens the range of jobs the overall folding line can handle. The machine is designed for connection to equipment fitted with MCT control via a round plug, making integration into compatible Heidelberg finishing lines straightforward. Connection behind a steel saddle stitcher is also possible through an optionally available coupling box, extending its usefulness in inline finishing configurations.
