The Stahl T36 6-6-KB is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or buckle folder — dating from 1997 and currently located in Germany. Folding machines of this type are core pieces of finishing equipment in print production, automatically creasing and folding printed sheets into brochures, leaflets, booklets, and similar products with consistent precision. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing high-quality folding and finishing machinery for the commercial printing and bookbinding industries, and their equipment is widely regarded as reliable and capable across a broad range of production environments.
This particular machine is equipped with a flat pile feeder, allowing sheets to be loaded in a flat stack and fed automatically into the folding section. The folding configuration is 6 buckles — 6 buckles — 1 knife, meaning it combines two sets of six buckle plates with a knife folding unit, giving operators considerable flexibility in the fold patterns and combinations they can achieve. The machine handles sheet sizes from a minimum of 80 × 100 mm up to a maximum of 360 × 650 mm, and is suited to paper weights ranging from 40 to 250 g/m², covering everything from lightweight promotional stock through to heavier cover-weight papers.
The maximum pile height of the feeder is 580 mm, supporting longer uninterrupted production runs without the need for frequent reloading. Speed is variable between 10 m/min and 160 m/min, accommodating both delicate or complex fold jobs at lower speeds and high-volume straight runs at full pace. The folding rollers have a diameter of 32 mm. Delivery is via a stream delivery (shingled output), which handles folded products gently and keeps them well-ordered as they exit the machine.
A compressor is included with the machine, as are the original operator manuals, making this a complete and well-documented unit ready for integration into an existing finishing line.
