This Stahl SBP 66.2, TC 7 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or buckle folder — dating from 1993 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines of this type are used in commercial printing and finishing operations to automatically fold sheets into a wide range of configurations, from simple parallel folds to complex multi-fold products such as brochures, leaflets, and inserts. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing high-quality folding and finishing equipment for the print industry, and its machines are widely used in trade binderies and print shops worldwide.
This particular machine is a multi-unit pocket folding system configured around a 78 × 104 cm sheet size. Sheet feeding is handled by an air flat pile feeder, the FCC 78, which is equipped with a batch counter (PCS 100) and four air tables to support smooth, consistent sheet separation and transport at the infeed.
The folding section comprises three successive units. The first unit carries six pockets at a working width of 78 cm and is fitted with both a pre-mounted and a rear-mounted slitter shaft, allowing inline slitting before and after the folding stage. The second unit adds four further pockets, also at 78 cm, with a rear-mounted slitter shaft. The third unit provides four pockets at a reduced working width of 66 cm, again with a rear-mounted slitter shaft. Together, the three units offer a total of fourteen folding pockets, giving the machine considerable flexibility across a wide range of folding programmes.
Additional equipment includes an electric window pocket, a vacuum pump serving the air system, and a cold gluing unit by Planatol — specifically the Optimatic model — which enables inline cold-glue application as part of the folding process. Delivery is handled by the Stahl SBP 66.2 press and stack delivery unit, which compresses and stacks the finished folded products at the output end of the line.
