This Horizon AFC-744 746 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — used to automatically fold printed sheets into a wide range of configurations for print production and finishing workflows. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of post-press finishing equipment, supplying bindery and print finishing machinery to commercial printers, in-plant print rooms, and print service providers worldwide.
This particular unit is the AFC-746F variant, equipped with a PFU-74F pallet feeder, and has been refurbished by the seller. The pallet feeder allows large stacks of paper to be fed directly from pallets, accommodating a maximum stack height of 1,200 mm and handling sheet sizes up to 738 × 1,300 mm. The minimum sheet size is 210 × 297 mm, and the machine accepts paper weights ranging from 35 to 209 g/m², covering a broad spectrum from lightweight stock through to heavier board grades.
The folding configuration is notably versatile. The machine features six fold pockets, a first knife fold unit with two pockets positioned beneath it, and a second knife fold unit, giving operators considerable flexibility across cross folds, parallel folds, and more complex multi-fold combinations. Setup is largely automated, with the system capable of executing up to 47 automatic adjustments covering feed settings, roller gaps, pocket fold positions, and knife fold positions — enabling fast, tool-free changeovers between jobs.
Operation is managed through a large colour touchscreen control panel, from which common fold formats and paper sizes can be selected directly. The electrical supply requirement is three-phase 400 V at 12.6 A, with a total power draw of 5.3 kW. The machine's footprint measures approximately 4,380 mm in length, 1,870 mm in width, and 1,680 mm in height.
The machine is located in Germany and is offered in used, refurbished condition. The year of manufacture is 2011.
