Bindery – log shuttle, compensating stackers, blocking units, palletizing
Bindery – stream feeder loading, bindery stackers & blocking units, bundle handling, robots
Efficient automation behind saddle stitchers, perfect binders, inserters,…
Although modern bookbinding lines are highly automated for their core function, the processes that occur before and after saddle stitchers or perfect binders are often manual or semi-automated. We help bookbinders automate these processes and reduce costs with our specific stacking and palletizing solutions.
Log Shuttle: automatic loading of logs onto stream feeders
Bindery stackers: entry level model RS 11, RS 10 standard & high-speed model for saddle stitchers, RS 33S standard & high-speed model for perfect binders
Blocking unit: mechanical compression and electrostatic blocking
Bundle handling: accumulation conveyors, dividers, turntables, bundle turning,..
Palletizing: robots for 1 or 2 lines complete with pallet conveying, space-efficient mini-robot ERIC (optional as cobot)
Options: Together with our certified partners we integrate strapping, banding, film wrapping and other solutions.
