Stackers and Palletizers — Making Perfect Piles

The world of stackers and palletizers is the equivalent of the anchor leg, as it prepares finished product for delivery. Thus while not as ballyhooed as the sexier prepress parts of printing operations, its customers demand the ultimate in reliability, durability and performance.

"Many plants run their equipment for multiple shifts; some run around the clock," notes Leslie Figler, marketing manager for Gämmerler. "As a result, printers require stackers and palletizers that can run day in, day out and still provide a consistently high level of performance."
