GR Print Ramps Up Production with a Stahlfolder USA B20
GR Print, a busy gang-run trade printer located in Montebello, CA, reports a 35 percent increase in folding productivity since it replaced an aging machine with a small-format, Stahlfolder USA B20 pile-fed combi-plate folder.
“It’s fast, flexible and a lot more accurate,” said production manager Paul Pillen, citing the folder’s micro-adjustable combination buckle plates. “The ease of use is just outstanding,” he added—“so much so that an operator with no experience with automated equipment could walk right up to it and get comfortable with no problem whatsoever.” Currently, the company operates the USA B20 folder for one shift per day, although it expects to add a second shift by the beginning of February to accommodate increasing volume.
