The Nagel Ernst Nagel S8 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets in high-volume document finishing environments. Nagel is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing bindery and finishing equipment for the print and publishing industries, and this example was built in 2008 and is offered used from a seller in Germany.
The machine is configured with eight stations, each equipped with suction belt technology that uses a combination of suction and blowing air to handle sheets precisely and consistently. The cover sheet station accommodates a stacking height of up to 130 mm, while stations two through seven each accept a stacking height of up to 65 mm. This multi-station layout allows for complex folding programmes and the processing of large job runs without frequent reloading.
In terms of sheet handling, the machine works with paper weights ranging from approximately 45 to 240 gsm, making it suitable for everything from lightweight uncoated paper up to heavier card stock. Maximum sheet size is 364 × 520 mm and minimum sheet size is 120 × 160 mm, giving the machine a broad working range for different format requirements.
The control and detection systems fitted to this machine are comprehensive. A counter and preselection counter allow precise batch management, and a divider function enables automatic separation of counted sets. Sheet integrity is monitored through double leaf detection, misfeed detection, and sheet length detection, all of which help prevent folding errors and protect downstream finishing equipment. Station empty detection and paper jam detection round out the safety and process monitoring features, contributing to reliable unattended operation.
