The Horizon AFC 504 AKT is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — dating from the year 2000 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines are core finishing equipment in commercial printing and mailing operations, automatically creasing and folding printed sheets into a wide range of configurations at production speeds. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of post-press and bindery equipment, supplying the graphic arts and print finishing industries with a broad range of automated solutions.
This machine accepts sheet sizes up to 49 × 65 cm, positioning it comfortably in the mid-to-large format range for a folding machine of this class. Sheet feeding is handled by a flat pile feeder equipped with a suction head, which draws sheets individually from a stacked pile for consistent, reliable feed without manual intervention.
The folding configuration is a combination of parallel and cross folding sections, giving the machine considerable versatility for producing multi-panel folds. The parallel fold section is equipped with four folding pockets, allowing complex parallel fold sequences in a single pass. The cross fold section contains one folding knife, which diverts the sheet at a right angle to the parallel fold path to produce cross folds. An additional folding pocket is fitted after the first cross fold, extending the cross fold capability and enabling further folding stages beyond the initial cross fold. Finished sheets are delivered via a stream delivery, which overlaps outgoing sheets for smooth, continuous output.
The machine carries internal reference HO250137A. Worldwide shipping and installation are available from the seller.
