Abstract: A folding machine comprises a blade folding unit having a first and a second folding roller, the folding roller axes thereof defining a folding roller plane, and having a folding blade which is oriented and is movable in a folding blade plane which is oriented perpendicularly to the folding roller plane and intersects the folding roller plane in an intersection line. The folding blade is arranged in a retracted position in or below a horizontal plane which comprises the intersection line.

Abstract: The cross-fold module for a folding machine comprises a cross-fold knife which is movable in a reciprocating manner in a folding-knife movement direction, and a pair of folding rollers which form a folding roller gap in which a sheet that previously was fed in the feeding direction is creased for folding by the cross-fold knife. A delivery transport device for the folded product receives the folded product in a receiving portion close to an outlet of the folding roller gap and transports the folded product to a delivery portion. At least the cross-fold knife and the pair of folding rollers are adjustable horizontally, perpendicular to the folding-knife movement direction and perpendicular to the feeding direction.

Abstract: A device for stacking and packaging folded products includes a conveying device that conveys a stack of folded products, which folded products are arranged in an upright position in a row, in a transport direction to a delivery area above a receptacle on at least one support element, which supports the stack in the delivery area perpendicularly to the transport direction. The stack is released perpendicularly to the transport direction by shifting or pivoting the at least one support element. A pushing device pushes the stack of folded products out of the delivery area perpendicularly to the transport direction and into the receptacle.
