Stackers/Palletizers — Safety Comes First

Kolbus is now marketing the Civiemme CS 350 compensating stacker. The CS 350 is rated at 100,000 cph and features low maintenance and maximum accessibility to all parts of the machine. It has a divert gate for waste copies and synchronized vibrating joggers for perfect stream alignment.

The burden of safety has been placed on the manufacturer and the printer to protect operators or maintenance personnel who may ignore or attempt to defeat the safety provisions that, in most cases, were provided for their protection, according to Dennis Snyder, president of Advance Graphics Equipment (AGE). The toll it exacts is the loss of limb or life and, on another level, increased costs to both manufacturer and printer.
