This Horizon AFC- is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets into a wide variety of configurations for print finishing applications. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of print finishing equipment, producing machines that serve commercial printers, binderies, and in-plant print operations worldwide.
This particular unit is a four-buckle cross folder, configured with a first folding unit carrying four buckles and a knife, and a second folding unit with two additional buckles. The knife mechanism is fully automatic. The system comes as a complete offer comprising the cross folder itself, a flat pile feeder, and a delivery connector. It carries a three-month warranty.
The machine operates using Horizon's Touch & Work control technology, with 11 standard folding types preprogrammed and storage capacity for up to 50 saved jobs, making it well suited to repeat-order production environments. Error management is handled through integrated misfeed, double-feed, and jamming controls. The rollers are reported at zero percent remaining condition, which buyers should factor into their assessment.
