This Stahl SBP 40 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — dating from 1979 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines are used in print finishing and bindery operations to automatically fold sheets of paper into signatures, brochures, leaflets, and other folded formats. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing folding and finishing equipment for the commercial printing and bookbinding industries, and their machines are widely respected across those sectors.
The machine carries serial number 14256/79, confirming its 1979 production date. Its maximum sheet width capacity is 400 mm, making it suited to a range of standard print formats within that dimension.
A notable feature of this machine is its horizontal stack delivery with pressing roller delivery — referred to in the original documentation as a Stehendbogenauslage mit Presswalzenauslage. This configuration collects folded sheets in a standing stack while simultaneously applying pressure through a pressing roller arrangement, helping to ensure clean, well-creased folds and neat output stacking. The machine is also equipped with a vertical press delivery system.
An additional point of note is that this machine has been modified to incorporate SELFControl, indicating a control system upgrade has been applied at some stage during its working life. This is offered in used condition.
