FLOWLINER Quarterfold
OFFSET LATERAL – RIBBON (3rd FOLD)
Based on new revolutionary lateral in-line stitching technology that enables increased flexibility to run small-format products with existing printing press equipment.
This in-line stitching technology makes it possible to stitch printed quarter-folded products directly in the press – a technique called lateral stitching. The FLOWLINER Quarterfold is an effective application that results in cost and time efficiency followed by increased flexibility to run more types of products with existing equipment. It’s compact in size, with few moving parts optimised for reliability and easy to use. The low investment ensures a fast return on investment giving a worry-free stitching process.
Product Description
The FLOWLINER Quarterfold is a lateral in-line stitching system that is specifically developed for printing operations that haven’t had the possibility to incorporate in-line stitching before. The unit is placed in the section between the folder and the quarter-folder in the printing press. With the FLOWLINER Quarterfold stitcher solution the flexibility increases, making it possible to produce a wide range of products in A4 size and quarter fold.
This stitching solution is designed to fit in a small space with the objective to have a minimum number of moving parts to create an application that are optimised to deliver a reliable and effective production process, as well as being easy to operate and maintain. It generates cost and operational savings since the stitcher has no impact on the printing process and run in full production speed, only contributing to a greater final product.
