Stahlfolder speeds up Wincanton workload

Commercial printer Wincanton Press has invested in a Stahlfolder KH66 combination folder to keep its finishing department up to date with its press hall.

The machine was installed earlier this month and replaced an eight-year-old folder.

Production director Ian Gartfield said: "We have new presses and wanted a folder to keep up with the higher production speed."

The combination machine runs at 50,000 cycles an hour and is capable of handling a wide range of folds on sheets of between 140x180mm and 660x1,280mm in continuous-pile configuration.
