This Heidelberg T52-4 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or buckle folder — designed to fold sheets of paper into a variety of configurations for print finishing applications. Folding machines of this kind are a core piece of equipment in commercial printing, bookbinding, and mailing operations, used to produce everything from brochures and leaflets to inserts and direct mail pieces. Heidelberg is one of the most widely respected names in the printing and print-finishing industry, with a long history of producing precision machinery for sheetfed offset printing and post-press finishing.
This particular machine is a Heidelberg Stahlfolder Ti52/4, manufactured in 2003 and carrying serial number F.00235. It is equipped with a flat pile feeder, which allows sheets to be fed from a stack in a flat, stable configuration, supporting consistent and reliable throughput. The maximum working width is 520 mm, giving it the capacity to handle a broad range of sheet sizes.
The folding unit comprises a first station with four buckle pockets, enabling a variety of fold types and combinations to be produced without the need for additional tooling changes. The machine is fitted with a Stahl SAK stream delivery, which fans the folded output into an overlapping stream for clean, orderly collection. Notably, the folding rollers have been replaced and are described as new, which is a significant maintenance detail given that roller condition directly affects fold quality and consistency. Operator and technical manuals are included with the machine.
The machine is in used condition, located in Emskirchen near Nuremberg, Germany, and is described as available immediately from stock.
