Pope’s In-plant Adds MBO Folder

“The challenge for the folding machine in this case is not only the high throughput, but also the use of very different types of paper, ranging from thin printed paper to very heavy types,” says MBO Germany Managing Director Manfred Minich.

The in-plant selected the MBO model not only to reduce changeover and downtimes, but because its High-Grip spiral fold rollers with soft polyurethane provide a safe transport for challenging tasks like bible paper. Also, the MBO Vacuknife, unlike a conventional folding knife, does not simply push the sheet towards the fold rollers, but keeps constant contact with every sheet until it is grabbed by the fold rollers, providing maximum folding precision and perforating. Another plus: MBO’s Navigator Control includes an imposition catalogue containing about 1,000 types of folds.
