This Stahl T 36.4 KB is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folding machine — manufactured in 1989 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines of this type are used in print finishing and bookbinding to automatically fold printed sheets into sections, brochures, signatures, and other finished formats. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing precision folding and paper-finishing equipment for the commercial printing and bookbinding industries.
The machine carries serial number and is equipped with a flat pile feeder, allowing stacks of pre-cut sheets to be fed automatically into the folding unit. The feeder accepts pile heights of up to 580 mm, supporting efficient, continuous production runs without frequent reloading.
The folding configuration combines four buckle sections with one knife fold, giving operators the flexibility to produce a wide range of fold patterns in a single pass. Sheet sizes handled by the machine range from a minimum of 80 × 100 mm up to a maximum of 360 × 650 mm, covering formats from small leaflets through to larger broadsheet-style sheets. The paper weight range runs from 40 g/m² to 250 g/m², meaning the machine can process lightweight papers and heavier card stocks within a single operational envelope. The folding rollers measure 32 mm in diameter.
Operating speed is adjustable between a minimum of 10 metres per minute and a maximum of 160 metres per minute, allowing the operator to match throughput to the material being run. Delivery is via a stream delivery system, which overlaps outgoing folded sheets for smooth, controlled output. A compressor is included with the machine, as are the original operator manuals.
