The Horizon AFC-504 AKT is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets across a wide range of formats and paper weights. Folding machines of this type are a core piece of equipment in commercial print finishing, direct mail, and bindery operations, delivering folded signatures, brochures, and inserts at production speeds. Horizon is a well-regarded Japanese manufacturer specialising in post-press and print finishing equipment, supplying booklet makers, trimmers, collators, and folding systems to print shops and binderies worldwide.
This 2007 machine is configured with four buckle plates and two cross knife folds, a combination that gives it the flexibility to produce a broad range of fold styles — from simple single folds and letter folds to more complex multi-panel and cross-fold configurations. It accepts sheet sizes from a minimum of 128 × 148 mm up to a maximum of 500 × 700 mm, making it suitable for everything from small flyers to large broadsheet-format sheets.
Paper weight capacity runs from 35 g/m² up to 250 g/m², covering lightweight promotional inserts through to heavier card stocks. Folding speed reaches up to 270 metres per minute, supporting high-volume production runs. Sheet feeding is handled by an automatic suction feeder, which draws sheets individually from the pile for consistent, reliable feeding without misfeeds. Finished work is collected via a stacker delivery system for orderly output handling. The machine is operated through a touchscreen display with programmable job settings, allowing operators to store and recall fold programs for fast changeovers between jobs.
The machine is located in Poland and is offered for sale at €8,000.
