An inline parallel knife unit that trims and slits folded leaflets in the same pass as folding. Runs as a module in a folding line or as a stand-alone unit, with 30–90 m/min throughput and a 15 mm maximum finished thickness.
The SD-X250 is a parallel knife unit rather than a folder: it trims and slits folded work square, either inline behind a folding machine or as a stand-alone unit. Where a job has to finish with a cut edge — pharmaceutical leaflets, saddle-stitched booklets, three-knife trimming lines — it removes the separate offline pass and the re-registration that goes with it.
The blade is manufactured from high-grade alloy steel with precision grinding to deliver clean, burr-free cutting edges and consistent trim accuracy under continuous production.
Specification: 160 × 260 mm maximum feed, 30 × 60 mm minimum feed, up to 15 mm finished thickness, 30–90 m/min, 0.9 kW at 220 V, 1250 × 752 mm, air supply 0.4–0.6 MPa.

Solution · Pharmaceutical leaflets Pharmaceutical Leaflet Folding Machines A patient information leaflet is the hardest folding job in print. The sheet is small — often 60 × 100 mm unfolded in the miniature end of the range — the paper is thin, the fold has to be square enough to feed a cartoning line, and the fold line must not crack the ink or the fibre. Get any of those Solution · Outsert systems Pharmaceutical Outsert Folding Systems An outsert is a leaflet folded deep enough — typically eight, twelve or sixteen panels — that it becomes a small booklet in its own right, usually wrapped around or packed with the primary container. The engineering problem is that every additional panel multiplies the error of the panels before it, From pile to squared stack — the feeding, folding and delivery stages, and what each one costs you when it is set wrong.
What actually drives the price, which options earn their cost, and how to plan installation and acceptance.
Two mechanisms, two sets of strengths — and the cases where the answer is a machine that does both.
Folded to carton-insert size from 40–120 gsm pharma paper; the highest-volume pharmaceutical folding job.
Patient information leaflets must fit the carton while retaining readable multi-panel copy. Miniature sheet handling, repeatable fold position and counted delivery are the main production checks.
The T490 and T520 cover leaflet folding; the SD-X250 can trim or slit a finished leaflet when the cut edge is part of the job. Confirm the pattern on the actual stock before specifying the line.
Deep-folded leaflets of 8, 12 or 16 panels that behave like a booklet and must lie flat for packing.
An outsert folds a larger information sheet into a compact, multi-panel piece for a carton. The finished stack must lie flat and feed consistently into packing equipment.
The folding platform and plate arrangement depend on the panel count and sheet. Where required, the SD-X250 trims the folded work and the SD-XP300 presses the finished stack.
Leaflets and promotional inserts folded to carton size, packed by automatic equipment.
Carton inserts and promotional leaflets are folded to a finished size that downstream equipment can pick up consistently. Square edges and flat stacks may be needed for automatic packing.
T520, T600 or T780 folding configurations can be paired with SD-X250 trimming or SD-XP300 pressing when the finishing requirement calls for them. Confirm the carton and stock before selecting modules.
