About this machine

This MBO T 530-6-R MIT is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — built in 2004 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines are used in the printing and finishing industry to automatically fold sheets of paper into a variety of configurations for booklets, brochures, inserts, and other printed materials. MBO is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the paper-folding and finishing equipment sector, serving commercial printers, trade finishers, and print-on-demand operations worldwide.

The machine handles a maximum sheet format of 53 × 84 cm and a minimum of 10.5 × 10.5 cm, covering a broad range of common print formats. Feed speed runs from 10 to 205 metres per minute, making it suitable for both careful short-run work and high-volume production. The seller highlights its suitability for dual-purpose production, indicating versatility across different folding tasks.

Feeding is handled by a round pile feeder equipped with MC control and a preselection counter, allowing operators to manage batch quantities and automate feed sequences with precision. The main folding unit, designated FW 1, contains six stainless steel combination folding pockets with an infeed width of 53 cm; the stainless steel construction of the pockets contributes to durability and reliable sheet guidance. A downstream slitter shaft mounted on quick-release axles allows for efficient slitting operations inline, with the quick-release design simplifying changeovers between jobs.

Additional features include a noise damping device to reduce operational sound levels, a Window folding pocket designated WinPlate with its own control unit for more complex folding configurations, and an MBO AS-540 shed display for monitoring and controlling the machine's operational status. Together these components reflect a well-specified finishing machine suitable for demanding production environments.
