Colter & Peterson will showcase the BASA 3, which features an automatic jogging system that can automatically form layers of printed sheets, align them accurately and transport them to the subsequent cutting process. The BASA 3 is appropriate for paper from 16-lb. bond to 125-lb. tag, and is effective when combined with a modern, rear-table-feeding system. Existing gripper transport systems can be retrofitted.

MBO America will introduce the Super KTZ, featuring a knife-folding unit that pivots 180 degrees. The threefold unit, including the buckle plate and slitter shafts, pivots 180 degrees from left to right machine exit (up or down fold)—and back—at operating speeds of 9,000˝/min. in the MBO K800/4 Super-KTZ combination folder. German-engineered stability provides excellent sheet output and folding quality. The consolidated size of the Super KTZ saves considerable space.
