2010 - Horizon AFC 566 FKT Flexo-Folder Gluer

About this machine

The Horizon AFC 566 FKT is a used flexo-folder gluer — sometimes referred to as a folder gluer — dating from 2010 and currently located in Germany. A flexo-folder gluer is a finishing machine used in the corrugated and folding carton industry to fold, glue, and where specified print flat blanks into finished box or carton shapes in a single continuous pass. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of professional print finishing equipment, producing a broad range of folding, collating, binding, and converting machinery for commercial printers, packaging converters, and finishing houses worldwide.

This machine is described as a fully automatic adjustable combination folding machine with shingle delivery, with automation extending continuously from the feeder through to the roller gap. It operates on Horizon's Touch & Work technology, which provides centralised, easy-to-use control from a single interface, and includes wireless remote control for fine corrections during a run. Settings are achievable to an accuracy of one thousandth of a millimetre, and the system supports a job memory of 200 stored programmes, enabling repeat jobs to be recalled and set up in seconds with zero waste on reprints.

The folding unit is equipped with six pockets, one folding blade with fully automatic adjustment, and one following folding pocket, accommodating seventeen standard fold types. Standard operational safeguards include double sheet control and arc run monitoring. A creasing and perforating device is also fitted as part of the machine's standard configuration.

Performance figures provided show a maximum throughput of 50,000 cycles per hour, with a paper weight capacity of 40 to 250 gsm. The feeder stacking height is 740 mm, and the format range runs from a minimum of 128 × 148 mm up to a maximum of 558 × 850 mm. A Compressor T4.40 is included with the machine.

Several optional accessories are available alongside the machine: an HHS cold gluing device with a two-channel controller and one glue head; three segmented folding rollers for the Horizon AFC 566/546 FW 1; a GFB-56 window rebate pocket with sensor and control unit; and a mobile cross break sword, the Horizon MKU-54. The machine is offered in used condition from its current location in Germany.
