As UK agent for MBO, folding kit will unsurprisingly form the backbone of the firm’s presence in Birmingham and one of the undoubted stars of its seven folders on display will be the MBO T765 EA, which will be seen producing the Ipex Daily (see Star Product, p35).

Hall 8
New to Ipex will be Heidelberg’s enhanced range of buckle folders, which now feature the ability to feed sheets in the oblong orientation. This is designed to boost productivity at the first station while a twin-lay device creates two streams to be fed into the second buckle station. The Stahlfolder KH 66 is being launched at Ipex, a combi folder with an automatic cross-fold unit. Depending on the level of automation, the set-up time of the cross-fold unit is cut by up to 80% compared to the non-automated KH 66 and it can run at speeds of 30,000 cycles per hour. Also on display will be the Stahlfolder KH 82, which represents Heidelberg’s most automated combination folder to date.
