AGS First to Install a Standard Hunkeler PF7 Plow-Fold System in North America

The PF7 system can operate in-line with or off-line from a digital web press. At AGS, pre-printed rolls are mounted on the Standard Hunkeler UW7 30-wide unwinder, threaded through the double plow folds, and then into the Standard Hunkeler CS6 rotary cutting and LS6 stacking module. Perforations are applied in the web direction for accurate high-speed plow-folding and lay-flat signatures at up to 500 feet per minute. The folded web is cut into four-, six-, or eight-page signatures, which are cleanly stacked as individual book blocks for easier downstream handling.
