Overview

The AFC-566FKT is a Horizon automated production folder for plants that need reliable commercial folding with short make-ready. Horizon's AFC family is the usual step when tabletop folders cannot keep up with sheet size or right-angle work.

Related AFV air-feed models handle coated and digital stocks more reliably than friction when feed is the failure point. Mid-State Litho will put AFC, AFV, and multi-brand Baum options on the same quote when that honesty helps the buyer.

Built by Horizon International in Japan. North American distribution through Standard Finishing Systems. Sold, installed, and serviced in Michigan and the Great Lakes by Mid-State Litho.

Key features

  • Horizon AFC automated production folder
  • Commercial buckle / knife fold architecture on equipped configs
  • Faster setup than prior generation folders on equipped systems
  • Pairs with Horizon creasers and collators in full cells

Why buy Horizon equipment from Mid-State Litho

Horizon International designs and manufactures this machine in Japan. Standard Finishing Systems (SDMC) is the exclusive North American distributor. Mid-State Litho is the authorized Michigan and Great Lakes dealer: we quote the configuration, install it, train your operators, finance it when needed, stock related parts and adhesives, and send factory-trained technicians when something stops a shift.

We work with Horizon and Standard Finishing as long-term allies. We still want the plant manager who searches for a Horizon dealer to land on Mid-State Litho: same-state trucks, multi-brand advice when Horizon is not the only answer, and a phone that reaches people who have installed the line. Call 1-800-343-4231 or request a quote. Browse the full Horizon print finishing equipment catalog.
