The Stahl K56 4-KTL is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — dating from approximately 1980 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines are used in print finishing and bindery operations to automatically fold sheets of paper into a variety of configurations, handling everything from simple single folds to complex multi-section booklet structures. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing precision paper folding and finishing equipment for the commercial printing and bookbinding industries.
This machine is configured with a flat pile feeder, which feeds pre-stacked sheets individually and automatically into the folding unit. The folding configuration consists of four buckle folds, one knife fold, one side buckle fold, and a further knife fold — a versatile arrangement suited to producing a wide range of fold patterns for brochures, leaflets, inserts, and similar print products.
The format range runs from a minimum sheet size of 140 × 180 mm up to a maximum of 560 × 9,000 mm, accommodating a broad variety of sheet dimensions. The machine handles paper weights between 40 and 250 g/m², making it suitable for lightweight papers through to heavier card stocks. The pile height at the feeder reaches a maximum of 80 cm, allowing for substantial stack capacity and longer uninterrupted runs. Delivery is via a stream delivery system, which shingles the folded products for easy collection and handling.
A compressor is included with the machine, and the original manuals are also included, serial number 16760.
