This Stahl TX52 44 is a used folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder — designed to fold printed sheets automatically and at high volume. Stahl is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the print finishing industry, producing equipment used by commercial printers, bookbinders, and finishing houses worldwide.
This particular machine dates from 1988 and is located in Germany. According to the seller, it carries serial number and is configured as a flat pile folding machine, accepting sheets from a flat pile feeder rather than a continuous stream feed at the input stage. The minimum folding size is 100 × 150 mm and the maximum is 520 × 820 mm, giving it a broad range suitable for everything from small folded inserts up to large format broadsheets and signatures. The maximum pile height at the feeder is 690 mm, allowing for substantial uninterrupted runs before reloading is required.
The folding unit configuration consists of two separate buckle fold sections, each equipped with four buckle plates and a folding width of 500 mm. This two-unit, four-buckle arrangement enables a wide variety of fold programmes, from simple single folds through to more complex multi-fold patterns such as letter folds, accordion folds, and parallel combinations, making the machine versatile across different finishing requirements.
Delivery is handled by a SAK 66 stream delivery unit, which receives the folded product and lays it out in a shingled stream for easy collection and removal. The machine also includes a compressor, which supplies the air pressure needed for the buckle fold mechanism and sheet transport functions. Control and counting functions are managed by a PCS 100 counter-control unit. Operator and maintenance documentation is included with the sale, along with all of the above equipment.
