Ergonomic stacking of folded sheets with POLAR Transomat TRE
Positioned directly on the folding machine delivery unit of the Stahlfolder TX 96 folding system, the Transomat unloader ensures consistently high production performance on the folding machine. The operator removes the stack ¬of folded sheets from the delivery unit and manually pushes the stack onto the Transomat pallet without having to lift the stack. This is not only much faster, it also relieves the burden on the operator. The stacked signatures are then placed on the pallet automatically – layer by layer.

Creative ideas are constantly generating new forms of print materials. Innovative finishing solutions are a necessity, also as far as folding is concerned. This means that folding systems must be versatile. They process printing products from black+white or inkjet full colour printers as well as products based on the conventional printing technology. Flexibility, variability, short set-up times as well as online applications are therefore in high demand. MB Bäuerle offers the professional equipment for optimal production. Depending on the individual requirements, a wide range of modules can be combined to form different system machines. The technical base for this are individual components of the fully automatic prestigeFOLD NET line of folding machines.
