The Horizon PST-40 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to apply controlled pressure to folded sheets, brochures, and other printed materials in finishing workflows. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of post-press and bindery equipment, serving the commercial print, publishing, and in-plant printing industries with a broad range of finishing solutions.
This particular machine functions as a mobile press, using a roller system to deliver a maximum pressing force of 20 kN, which is fully adjustable to suit different materials and job requirements. It accepts sheet sizes ranging from a minimum of 60 × 64 mm up to a maximum of 440 × 310 mm, giving it a wide operational range across common print formats. The pressing force and size envelope make it suitable for processing everything from small folded inserts to larger brochure formats.
A notable feature is the integrated marking function, which operates in two selectable modes. In Kicker mode, the final sheet of each set is offset sideways to create a physical separator between sets. In Group mode, the entire set is shifted laterally to achieve the same visual separation, aiding downstream handling and further processing. This functionality supports consistent workflow integration whether the machine is used inline within a production line or operated as a standalone offline unit — a flexibility the machine is specifically designed to accommodate.
The stream delivery system ensures that pressed materials are stacked in an orderly and consistent manner as they exit the machine, reducing manual intervention and supporting higher throughput. Height adjustment is available at the push of a button, allowing the machine to be positioned to match the ergonomic and operational requirements of different working environments or adjacent equipment.
Power requirements are 230 V at 50/60 Hz, with a motor rating of 0.9 kW, making it compatible with standard single-phase supplies. The machine measures 1,100 × 800 × 1,450 mm and weighs 280 kg. It is located in Germany and is offered in used condition.
