Heidelberg is adding a further folding model to its portfolio, the Stahlfolder CH 56 KT auto folding machine, which is designed for folding flyers in the 50 x70 format.
The folder utilises automation to decrease makeready times. The automated parallel folding unit with buckle plates and folding rollers is accompanied by an automated cross-fold unit. The operator only needs to enter the new job on the touchscreen for the front edge stop in the cross-fold unit to automatically move into position.
The new folding machine is able to complete five repeat folding jobs of 500 to 1,000 copies each within an hour. The machine will also appeal to customers looking to produce short runs in B2 format.
The Stahlfolder CH 56 folding machine can be customised with various options and modules to meet the customer’s individual wishes, for example with two feeder types and 4 or 6 buckle plates in the parallel folding unit.
The unit uses familiar technology from the Stahlfolder TH/KH series. The folding machine incorporates performance-enhancing technology such as Extra Grip folding rollers, the Tremat sheet separator, and the slip-free gear drive for the folding rollers.
The folding machine also uses modular control technology (MCT), which ensures its compatibility with existing Heidelberg deliveries.
To ensure optimum productivity a workflow connection option allows the CH 56 KT auto to be integrated into a Prinect Postpress Manager system.
