About this machine
The MKW Rapid UT 16 B3 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a folder or sheet folding machine — used in print finishing to fold, collate, and gather printed sheets into organised sets ready for binding or dispatch. MKW is a specialist manufacturer of print finishing equipment, producing machines for the commercial printing, publishing, and direct mail industries.
This particular example is a 16-station calendar gathering machine configured for high-output production environments. It accepts sheet formats ranging from a minimum of 10 × 14 cm up to a maximum of 35 × 50 cm, and handles paper weights across a very wide range — from 14 g/m² up to 1,000 g/m² — making it suitable for everything from lightweight inserts through to heavyweight card stock. The 16 gathering stations are fed manually from the right-hand side, and the machine runs at a cycle output of 2,900 per hour.
Control is handled via a 19-inch touchscreen PC interface, giving operators a clear and accessible way to manage production parameters. A circulating toothed belt table ensures smooth and reliable paper transport throughout the run. The machine also features a tandem production system, activated through a simple changeover at the operating terminal, which allows two stations with the same print motif to run in parallel — delivering production output increases of up to 75%. An electronic double and missing sheet control system is self-measuring, helping to reduce waste and catch feed errors automatically.
The maximum stacking height is 700 mm, and the left-hand rotation of the machine allows optional connection of punching and binding machines downstream. Included with this listing is a MKW HA-350 UTL mobile high-pile stacker, designed for large runs and offering a stacking capacity of 60 cm. The machine is located in Germany, dates from 2012, and is available for immediate collection from its current printing house location.
