This Stahl TC -FC is a flexo-folder gluer — sometimes referred to as a folder-gluer or box-making machine — a type of finishing equipment used in the packaging industry to print, fold, and glue flat corrugated or solid board blanks into finished carton boxes in a single, continuous inline process. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history in paper-processing and folding machinery, and their equipment is widely used in commercial print and packaging operations.
This 1993 machine, located in Germany and offered in used condition, is configured for versatile production and comes with a substantial array of equipment as described by the seller. The unit includes a vacuum pump and a flat stack air table, which supports smooth, consistent blank feeding into the line. An Optimatic cold glue facility provides automated adhesive application, and an FW 1 section is fitted with an upstream slitter shaft and four pockets at 78 cm width, complemented by a downstream slitter shaft for trimming or creasing operations after the folding stage.
The line continues with FW 2, which likewise carries four 78 cm pockets and a downstream slitter shaft, followed by FW 3, which is equipped with four pockets at the narrower width of 66 cm and its own downstream slitter shaft. This stepped pocket configuration allows the machine to handle a range of box formats and folding styles across the three folder sections. An electromagnetically operating gatefold pocket extends the machine's capability to produce gatefold-style cartons, which require a more complex fold pattern than standard straight-line boxes.
Delivery is handled by a vertical sheet press delivery unit, the SBP 66.2, which compresses and stacks the finished boxes as they exit the line. The inclusion of the SBP 66.2 is noted both as part of the machine's configuration and in the listing name, confirming it as an integrated component of this installation.
