This Heidelberg Topline TD 78 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — dating from 2000 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines of this type are used in commercial print finishing to fold printed sheets into precise formats for brochures, booklets, direct mail, and a wide range of other products. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing industry, known for producing high-quality offset presses and finishing equipment that serves commercial printers, packaging operations, and publishing houses worldwide.
This particular machine is configured as a Topline TD 78-4-2-RD with a VSA 66.D delivery unit, making it a multi-station buckle folder with three folding units and significant capacity for complex folding work. It is fed by a round pile feeder equipped with DCT control, providing reliable and consistent sheet separation and feeding into the folding sequence.
The first folding unit carries four pockets with a working width of 78 cm and is followed by a downstream slitter shaft, allowing sheets to be slit longitudinally as they pass through. The second folding unit also features four pockets, operating at a 66 cm width, and is equipped with a downstream cutterhead for cross-cutting between fold passes. The third folding unit has two pockets at a 56 cm width, again followed by a downstream slitter shaft, enabling further trimming or separation of the folded product.
Delivery is handled by the VSA 66.D MKE, a vertical pile press delivery unit that stacks the finished folded product under pressure for neat, stable piles. A notable maintenance point is that the folding rollers were renewed in 2014 and 2015, representing a significant refurbishment of one of the most wear-critical components in this type of machine.
