The Palamides Alpha 500 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a folder or paper folding machine — used to fold printed sheets, leaflets, brochures, and similar substrates with precision and repeatability. Palamides is a specialist manufacturer of finishing equipment, producing machinery designed for the print and bindery industries where automated sheet handling and folding form a core part of post-press workflows.
This particular machine was built in 2004 and is offered in used condition from a seller located in Zaandam, in the Netherlands. It handles a sheet size range from a minimum of 90 × 75 mm up to a maximum of 330 × 160 mm, making it suited to a variety of standard folded formats within that footprint. The maximum pile height of 150 mm indicates the depth of stock the machine can accept in the feed section at one time, allowing for reasonably extended runs without constant operator attention. At full capacity the machine processes up to 1,200 piles per hour, reflecting a throughput level appropriate for production environments with moderate to high folding volumes.
