About this machine

This listing is for a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — manufactured by MBO, a well-established German brand recognised throughout the print finishing and bindery industry for producing high-quality folding and finishing equipment. Folding machines of this type are used in commercial print shops, binderies, and mailing operations to automatically fold sheets of paper into a wide range of configurations for brochures, direct mail pieces, booklets, and similar products.

This particular machine is the MBO T , carrying serial number R11/47 and machine number 32427, and was built in 2001. It is offered in used condition from a seller located in Germany, with a working format of 80 × 120.

The machine is equipped with a Roundpile Feeder with an Overhead Digital Panel, allowing for high-capacity continuous feeding with operator-friendly digital control. An HSS Gluing System is integrated, enabling inline gluing as part of the folding process — a valuable feature for producing sealed or glued mail pieces and booklets without a separate pass.

The folding configuration is substantial: the first station carries four pockets and the second station carries a further four pockets, giving a high degree of folding flexibility for complex parallel and cross-fold combinations. The third station adds two additional pockets, extending the machine's range further. An MBO X Mobile Knife unit for 32 pages is included, providing cutting capability within the workflow for longer folded and nested signatures. Delivery is via a pressing delivery unit, which applies pressure to the finished folded product to ensure clean, well-defined folds at the output.

This is a comprehensively specified machine suited to demanding production environments requiring versatile multi-station folding, integrated gluing, and knife finishing in a single pass.
