Collating System Feeds And Collates Books
Streamfeeder has just installed a new collating system at Von Hoffman, Owensville (USA).
The product was transported by carts to another location and an operator would manually unload the cart and place the counted stacks in to a semi-automatic shrink wrapper.
The new system includes two XT-1200 accumulator-droppers controlled by Streamfeeder's Feednet collator communications software and which is fully integrated with a Conflex CW-160 horizontal form fill and seal wrapper provided by Streamfeeder authorised reseller Packaging Specialties of Germantown, Wisconsin (USA).
The line batch counts a variety of folded and single sheets in ranges of 10 to 50 pieces.

The increased capacity has created a ripple effect throughout the company enabling presses, folders, and other areas to operate at higher levels of production." Suttle-Straus serves the midwest market in the USA.
