This MBO T400X is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — dating from 1998 and currently located in the Netherlands. Folding machines are used in commercial printing and finishing operations to automatically fold printed sheets into signatures, brochures, leaflets, and other collateral with consistent precision. MBO is a well-established German manufacturer recognised in the graphic arts and print finishing industry for producing a broad range of high-quality folding equipment used by trade finishers, print houses, and binderies worldwide.
The machine accepts a maximum sheet size of 420 × 630 mm and is fed by a flat-pile feeder, which draws sheets from a stack laid flat, making it well suited to a wide variety of paper weights and formats. The first folding station is equipped with four plate buckle folds at 420 mm, giving the machine considerable versatility for producing parallel and combination folds. The second station delivers a knife fold, which uses a blade to force the sheet between rollers and is particularly effective for shorter panels or where buckle folding alone would be insufficient. Folded sheets exit via a belt delivery system.
Included with the machine are noise hoods to reduce operational sound levels, a vacuum pump to assist sheet feeding, a batch counter for job tracking, and an HSS glue computer. The seller notes that only the glue computer is available with this unit, implying it is included as part of the package. The machine is described as available for direct delivery.
