Children's Board Book with flaps
Kids' Puzzle Book
Up to 12 Sheet feeders
Non-stop feeding of up to 12 non-folded sheets:
-
Paperboard sheets creased in the middle
-
Paperboard sheets with die cut windows or pop-up
-
Board sheets with die cut puzzles
Folding Station
One of the most compact folding stations on the market.
With its plough fold and simple set-up, this folding station can handle a wide range of sizes.
Subsequently the signatures are calendered on the fold line to flatten the back.
Spacer Feeder
The spacer (reinforcing board) feeder inserts boards in empty spaces between the signatures in order to increase the book thickness and / or to provide a printed background for pages containing puzzle or windows.

Cold Glue Application
One gluing unit with programmable nozzles is sufficient for the whole machine. Dedicated software enables simple and intuitive programming of the gluing pattern, which can even be different for every sheet of the book.
All gluing programmes may be saved and called up in a few minutes.
Book Block Feeder
The book block feeding station is used when the book is composed of more signatures than the number of the feeders, with which the machine is equipped. The total book block assembly is being done in two steps, combining the new signatures with the one previously made.
