B&R Moll launches Compact folder-gluer

B&R Moll has launched a compact friction-fed, folder-gluer aimed at small format folding and finishing work.

The Moll Compact is available in 660mm, 910mm and 1,010mm configurations and is suited for work including straight-line boxes, pillow packs and coffee cup sleeves.

It is equipped with a tipper fold plate and plow fold capability and features a two-line hot-melt gluing system and a standard dial-a-stack unit with a batch counter.

The 1.5 x 3.7 x 1.2m (width, depth, height) Moll Compact is based on the manufacturer's Vantage 720 finishing system and can be upgraded to the 720 with the addition of a Versa-Fold unit.

Darren Vernon, director of Moll International, said: "The Moll Compact folder/gluer delivers a lot of the features and functionality of our full-size folder/gluers, but in a reduced footprint machine ideal for smaller print and finishing shop areas.

"Its quick change-over time also makes it ideal for use with digital printing systems."

The Moll Compact folder/gluer can handle paper weights ranging from 140-500gsm and sheet sizes ranging from 50 x 102mm up to 838 x 508mm. Maximum linear speed is 130m/min (425ft/min).
