PINLESS 4P/8P SYSTEM

This space saving system enables production of pinless 4 and 8 pagers as well as various gate folded and flat covers. A low cost alternative to Pinless Double Former Folder, the system is available with or without the sheeting capability.

The Horizontal Double Former section takes 38” wide web and slits it into two ribbons.  The ribbons go over air angle bars and are folded by steep angle formers, positioned in the horizontal plane. The ribbons can be folded individually to produce two folded streams for 4-pagers, or they can be folded together to produce 8-pagers.
The folded ribbons go to a shear type Rotary Cutter with two around cut and deliver in a shingled stream.  In Sheeter Plus 4P/8P System, the Rotary Cutter is replace by Sheeter enabling production of 4s, 8s, as well as full size cut sheets. The system can be located in straight-line or at right angle to press to deliver four 4 pagers in two adjacent streams or two 8 pagers into single stream
