This Heidelberg VFZ 52.D is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets into a variety of configurations as part of a finishing line. Heidelberg is a long-established name in the printing industry, known for producing high-quality press and post-press equipment used in commercial, industrial, and packaging print operations worldwide.
Built in 2001 and carrying serial number , this unit is offered used from a seller based in Germany. It is configured as a four-directional folding unit with an integrated knife folding section, giving it the ability to produce a broad range of fold patterns in a single pass.
The machine accepts sheet sizes ranging from a minimum of 120 × 100 mm up to a maximum of 520 × 360 mm, covering a wide variety of standard and custom formats. Operating speed runs between 25 and 160 metres per minute, with a maximum cycle rate of 30,000 cycles per hour — figures that make it well suited to medium and high-volume production environments. The infeed height is adjustable between 51.5 and 91.5 cm, allowing the unit to be matched to different line configurations or inline feeding arrangements.
A notable feature is the knife position, which is pivotable through 180 degrees, providing considerable flexibility in fold direction and enabling the unit to be adapted to different job requirements without major reconfiguration. The machine is equipped for connection to presses and finishing lines running DCT control systems, making inline integration straightforward in compatible production environments.
