The Horizon AFC-546 AKT is a used flexo-folder gluer — sometimes referred to as a folder-gluer — currently located in Germany. Flexo-folder gluers are specialist finishing machines used in the packaging industry to crease, fold, and glue flat printed and die-cut blanks into finished cartons and boxes. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of post-press and print finishing equipment, serving commercial printers, packaging converters, and binderies worldwide with a broad range of automated, precision-engineered solutions.
This machine is built around a semi-automatic feeder that feeds sheets through to the buckle plates, and its standout operational feature is settings accurate to the thousandth of a millimetre, enabling highly repeatable and precise fold registration. Control is handled through Horizon's Touch&Work technology, which provides centralised, operator-friendly management of all machine functions from a single interface.
The folding unit comprises six motorised, adjustable pockets, one folding blade with fully automatic adjustment, and two subsequent folding pockets positioned left and right. The machine supports 17 standard fold types and holds up to 200 job memories, allowing quick and consistent recall of saved setups. Integrated double-sheet control and sheet travel monitoring help protect against misfeeds and ensure consistent output quality. A creasing and perforating device is also included, extending the machine's capability beyond pure folding and gluing.
On the technical side, the machine operates at a maximum speed of 50,000 cycles per hour and handles paper weights from 40 to 250 gsm. The feeder stacking height is 740 mm, and the machine accepts sheet formats from a minimum of 128 × 148 mm up to a maximum of 558 × 850 mm. Power consumption is rated at 2.7 kW, and the machine runs on a 400 V three-phase supply at 50/60 Hz. A Compressor T4.40 is included with the machine.
