Overview
AFV-56S series folders use air feed for more reliable handling of coated, varnished, and digital sheets. Choose air-feed when friction folders misfeed and you are losing operator time to jams.
Compare with AFV-56K iCE and AFC models for sheet size and automation level. Mid-State Litho will put Horizon and multi-brand options on the same quote when that helps.
The Horizon AFV-56S is a fully automated cross folder for commercial binderies and in-plant departments running digital or offset work.
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.
