This Stahl TFU 66 8-6 RF is a used folding machine, a category of equipment — also commonly referred to as a paper folder or buckle folder — widely used in print finishing and bookbinding operations to fold sheets of paper into signatures, brochures, leaflets, and other folded products. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the graphic arts and print-finishing industry, producing folding machines that are standard equipment in commercial printing plants and binderies worldwide.
This particular machine dates from 1993 and is located in Germany, offered in good used condition. It is configured as a two-unit system with a combined total of fourteen buckle pockets, making it capable of producing a wide range of complex fold patterns in a single pass. The first unit is a TFU 66V/8, equipped with eight buckle pockets, and the second unit is a TFU 66.2/6, adding a further six buckle pockets. This two-unit arrangement significantly extends the folding possibilities available compared to a single-unit machine.
The maximum sheet format is 66 x 100 cm, accommodating large-format sheets suitable for map folding, broadsheet work, and other demanding finishing tasks. A perforation shaft is fitted, allowing the machine to perforate sheets inline during the folding process — a useful feature for tearable forms, tickets, and similar products.
Sheet feeding is handled by a Roundpile feeder, which draws from a continuously replenished pile to support efficient production runs. Delivery is via a SAK 66-3 delivery unit, which collects and stacks the finished folded product at the output end of the machine.
