About this machine

The MBO Z2 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — dating from 2003 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines are used in print finishing to create precise, repeatable folds in sheets of paper or printed signatures, and MBO is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for high-quality folding and finishing equipment serving the commercial print and bindery industries.

The Z2 is a mobile knife folding unit designed with a swivel range of 180 degrees, enabling it to fold material from either above or below. This versatility allows it to be integrated into a wide range of configurations across both combination folding machines and buckle plate folders.

On combination and buckle plate folding machines, the unit can serve as folding unit IV for the production of 32-page signatures, as well as for English, German, and international quarter folds and various special fold types. When deployed as folding unit III on buckle plate folders, the folded material can be returned directly to the central control panel. The unit is equally suited to producing parallel folds to the spine following the first and second cross-folds on combination folding machines, particularly when used in conjunction with a corner conveyor table.

Further integration options include use with saddle stitchers for small right-angle folding of brochures, connection to a corner feed table for spine-parallel folding, and deployment as a layer folding unit for small-format products folded either at right angles or parallel to the spine. The unit can also be combined with a drum feeder, corner conveyor table, and delivery system. On buckle plate folding machines, the Z2 is capable of producing very tightly closed window folds when positioned after folding unit II.
