This listing is for a used Horizon folding machine, a type of finishing equipment used in print production to automatically fold sheets of paper into a wide variety of formats. Folding machines of this kind are also commonly referred to as paper folders. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of post-press and finishing equipment, supplying binderies, commercial print shops, and in-plant print facilities with high-quality automated solutions.
The offer comprises three components: a Horizon AFC-504 AKT cross folder, a flat pile feeder, and a delivery connector. The machine operates as a four-buckle cross folder with two folding units: the first unit carries four buckles plus a knife, and the second unit carries two buckles. This configuration enables a broad range of cross-fold combinations to be produced automatically. The knife is fully automatic in operation.
Control is handled through Horizon's Touch & Work interface, which offers 11 pre-programmed standard folding types and the ability to save up to 50 job memories for repeat orders, making changeovers fast and consistent across production runs. Error management is built in, with automatic detection and control of misfeeds, double feeds, and sheet jams, helping to minimise waste and unplanned stoppages.
Sheet size ranges from a minimum of 120 × 172 mm to a maximum of 490 × 650 mm, and the machine handles paper weights between 40 and 250 g/m². The flat pile feeder accommodates a pile height of up to 650 mm. Maximum output speed is 27,000 cycles per hour. Power requirements are 400 V / 50 Hz at 2.5 kW.
The machine measures 2,540 × 1,790 × 1,440 mm and weighs 870 kg. It is described as used, manufactured in 2001, located in Germany, and is offered with a three-month warranty. The seller notes that the roller condition is rated at zero per cent, which prospective buyers should factor into their assessment. Packaging, loading, and international transport including customs clearance can be arranged by the seller.
