Koenig & Bauer Duran Omega Performa
The Koenig & Bauer Duran Omega Performa is a folder-gluer. It runs sheets from 58 × 60 mm up to 600 × 800 mm. It handles stock from 200 to 450 gsm, at up to 300 m/min.
Each job you run comes with its own specific problems, and more often than not the culprit is found on the tooling shafts. The standard finishing tools supplied with your machine aren’t accurate, versatile or delicate enough for the results you and your customers expect. At Technifold we design and build bespoke, retro-fit premium finishing tools to solve both common and complex finishing problems.
Your Omega Performa, finished properly.
Patented in the UK · 45,000+ tools running in 79 countries · since 1999

- Two related OEM sub-lines found: (1) base 'Omega Performa' offered in 3 sizes, 130/145/165 cm width, max belt speed 300 m/min (OEM Turkish product page). (2) 'Omega Performa Plus' offered 80-110 cm width, max belt speed 400 m/min (higher-spec variant — see max_speed_m_min note; NOT used as the staged speed value since majority of evidence, incl. both size classes seen in used-market listings under the plain 'Omega Performa' name, point to 300). Both sub-lines produce straight line, double wall, crash lock, optional 4&6 corner with single-finger servo backfold/fold system, plus inner partition, Z-fold, conical crash lock, and CD boxes. Used-market 'Omega Performa 80' units (2011 and 2013 examples, 3 independent dealer listings): max sheet format 600mm x 800mm, min sheet format 58mm x 60mm, 3 gluing points, materials 200-450 gsm cartonboard plus flutes E,B and corrugated cardboards up to 7mm, box types straight line/crash lock bottom/double wall/4 points, machine max speed 300 m/min. Caveat: KB row name 'Omega Performa' merges what were originally two distinct OEM product lines (Performa vs Performa Plus) plus at least one used-market-only size (165, seen only in a Duran news-page image caption, not in either OEM product page) — see fact-proposals-notes and reharvest-notes for full discussion.

What we solve
Problems we eliminate on the Omega Performa
Tooling for the Omega Performa
If it’s a wheel, a blade or a rib that touches paper or board, we can make it.
Tech-ni-Fold manufactures precision finishing tooling: 45,000+ tools running in 79 countries over 25 years. Alongside our patented systems, we engineer and machine components to order for finishing machinery of every kind, including machines like the Omega Performa.
Precision rotary tooling is what we do
Creasing ribs, scoring wheels, perforating blades, slitting knives, blade holders, anvils and custom shaft components, designed and machined in-house in the UK, by the company that invented and patented rotary creasing.
Engineered to order
Most of what we make started as somebody's problem, not a catalogue page. Send us the part, the drawing, or just the job that's going wrong, and our engineers will tell you straight whether we can make it better, sharper or cheaper.
OEMs buy from us already
Machine manufacturers source blades, holders and finishing components from us under their own part numbers. If you build or maintain machines, you get a supplier who actually understands why the part is shaped the way it is.
