This Stahl Stahlfolder VF is a folding machine — a category of finishing equipment, sometimes referred to as a paper folder, used in print finishing operations to apply precise, repeatable folds to sheets of paper or printed material. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing folding machines and related finishing equipment for the commercial printing and bookbinding industries.
This particular unit is a height-adjustable sword folding station designed to complement and extend existing buckle plate and combination folding machines. Rather than functioning as a standalone folder, it operates as an add-on third folding station, expanding the range of fold types that a host machine can produce. Its integration into a production line is described as U-shaped, an arrangement chosen for ease of operator access and ergonomic working conditions.
The sword folding unit can be swivelled 180 degrees, and by doing so, the machine is able to produce the international square fold — a capability that broadens the versatility of the overall folding system without requiring a separate dedicated machine. This makes it a cost-effective option for print finishing operations looking to increase the range of fold configurations available to them at comparatively low investment.
The unit is designed for connection to machines equipped with DCT control. It was manufactured in 1997, is offered in used condition, and is currently located in Germany.
