Collators — Freedom of (Much) Choice

In addition to automation, ease of setup and selective collating, collators that can accommodate the widest variety of material, from lightweight paper to heavy chipboard, are highly sought after, according to Hans Max, president and CEO of MBO America.

MBO offers the Theisen & Bonitz line of collators. The new T&B Flex collator features two operation models, with collating, stitching, folding and trimming functions on the right side of the machine and collating only on the left side. The collators feature excellent sheet separation, touchscreen control, missed sheet detectors at each station, double sheet detectors, automatic missed sheet repeat and automatic run on/off. The T&B 304 stitch, fold and trim model offers a face trim and is equipped with head and foot trim knives.
