The Horizon AFC is a used folding machine — sometimes called a paper folder — designed for the automated folding of brochures, inserts, and a wide range of other printed materials. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of post-press finishing equipment, supplying bindery and print production machinery to commercial printers, trade finishers, and in-plant print operations worldwide.
This particular machine is a combination folder, meaning it is capable of handling multiple folding configurations in a single pass, making it well suited to medium and large production volumes. According to the seller's specifications, it processes sheets ranging from a minimum of 120 × 172 mm up to a maximum of 490 × 650 mm, and accepts paper weights between 40 and 250 g/m², covering everything from lightweight leaflet stock through to heavier cover-weight materials.
The feeder stack height of up to 650 mm allows for substantial pile loading, reducing the need for frequent operator intervention during longer runs. Production speed reaches up to 27,000 cycles per hour, placing this machine firmly in the productive end of the folding equipment range. Power requirements are 400 V, 50 Hz at 2.5 kW.
In terms of physical footprint, the machine measures 2,540 mm long by 1,790 mm wide by 1,440 mm high and weighs approximately 870 kg, so adequate floor space and appropriate handling equipment will be needed for installation. The machine dates from 2000, is offered in used condition, and is currently located in Germany.
