Plockmatic, distributed locally by Renz Australia, has launched the new BM4000 Series of bookletmakers.
The new series has the ability to produce A4 landscape and 297x297mm booklets down to A6 books. It also offers corner or edge stapling as standard, plus a SquareBack finish.
The versatile bookletmaker series has the ability to staple and fold booklets of up to 140 pages or 200 pages and is designed to work with low to mid volume digital production printers.
The series also has the ability to feed long printed sheets – a feature which allows it to produce a wide variety of work, including the increasingly popular A4 landscape format.
Booklets of up to 200 pages can be either hand fed in the most basic configuration or fed by the Plockmatic VFX high-capacity dual bin feeder. Another option is the Crease and Side Trim Module which allows full bleed production with no need to side trim sheets on the guillotine prior to production.
Plockmatic says the system supports printed sheets of up to 660mm long, without the Crease and Trim Module, or 620mm with the module. Bar code reading can also be added to the feeder to ensure set integrity or for variable data or variable sheet count booklets.
Other features include:
Heavy Duty Stapling
Plockmatic says the heavy-duty staple mechanism is designed for durability and maintenance free thanks to a patented solution that eliminates periodic service intervals. With its adjustable staple and
fold position the BM4000 series has a patented “set positioning mechanism”. This allows the
operator to adjust the staple position in the direction of travel via the intuitive user interface.
Vacuum Feeder
The Plockmatic VFX is a two-tray high-capacity Vacuum Feeder, capable of efficiently feeding a wide range of paper types and weights, with sheets up to 660mm. The unit is equipped with highly automated vacuum feeding technology specifically designed to handle the widest range of pre- printed media. The Automatic Tray Switching feature enables long unattended runs and enables the loading of empty trays during a run to achieve maximum productivity.
Plockmatic and Morgana products in Australia are distributed by Renz Australia and the BM4000 bookletmaker range is available for order now.
