The Horizon AF 566 F is a folding machine — sometimes called a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets across a wide range of formats and paper weights. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of finishing equipment for the print and graphics industry, producing machines used in commercial print shops, binderies, and document production environments worldwide.
This particular unit dates from 2009 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in France. It is a six-buckle configuration operating on touch-and-work technology, with fully automatic roller adjustment that simplifies setup and reduces operator input between jobs. The machine comes with 17 standard fold types preprogrammed as standard, and the control system allows up to 200 individual jobs to be saved, making it well suited to production environments where repeat work or frequent job changes are common.
Sheet size handling runs from a minimum of 128 × 148 mm up to a maximum of 558 × 850 mm, giving the machine considerable flexibility across format sizes. It accepts paper weights between 40 and 250 gsm, covering everything from lightweight leaflet stock through to heavier cover materials. The pile height capacity is 740 mm, supporting productive continuous runs without frequent reloading. At peak throughput, the machine is rated to 50,000 cycles per hour, placing it firmly in the high-speed production category.
Electrically, the machine runs on a 400 V / 50 Hz supply and draws 2.9 kW. The overall footprint is 2,030 × 1,080 × 1,550 mm with a machine weight of 1,450 kg, figures that are relevant for installation planning and floor loading considerations.
