The Horizon KTU-40 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed as a mobile knife folding unit for producing cross folds and parallel folds. It is intended to be connected to existing folding machines as an add-on unit, and is particularly suited to miniature folds and the processing of long, narrow products. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer specialising in post-press finishing equipment, producing machines for the commercial print, publishing, and bindery industries worldwide.
Standard equipment on this unit includes one knife and a parallel fold plate, which can be mounted on either the right or left side. The folding unit features a variable fold plate positioned after the knife fold, and the entire folding unit including its delivery section can be swivelled by 45 degrees — a Horizon-patented feature that facilitates safe handling and delivery of long and narrow sheets. The folding rollers measure 30 mm in diameter and are described as easily adjustable. Delivery is via a standard vertical stack, and the machine includes a total and batch counter with a kicker. Feed height is infinitely adjustable between 640 and 880 mm, allowing the unit to be matched to a wide range of connected machines. The control system is independent and compatible with various host machines.
For cross folds, the infeed format ranges from a minimum of 90 mm wide by 20 mm long up to a maximum of 400 mm wide by 220 mm long. For parallel folds, the infeed accepts material from a minimum of 40 mm wide by 70 mm long to a maximum of 220 mm wide by 200 mm long. The finished format ranges from 20 mm wide by 22 mm long up to 200 mm wide by 150 mm long. Fold lengths via the folding plate run from 20 mm to 110 mm, adjusted manually. Maximum material thickness is 4 mm.
Operating speed is variable between 30 and 180 metres per minute, with manual adjustment. The machine runs on single-phase AC at 230 V / 50 Hz and draws 580 W. Noise emission is rated at 70.1 dB Laeq and heat emission at 1,490 kJ (360 kcal). Ambient operating conditions are specified as 0 to 40 °C with relative humidity between 20% and 75%.
The machine measures 1,140 mm long by 1,620 mm wide by 1,180 mm high and weighs 410 kg. This unit dates from 2021 and is offered in used condition, located in Germany.
