The Need for Integrated Pressing in Stream Delivery
After folding, printed sheets often contain trapped air between layers, leading to bulky stacks, unstable bundles, and folds that are not crisp. Traditional delivery systems simply stack products without addressing air entrapment. The Stream Press Stack Delivery solves this problem by integrating a pressing device directly into the stream delivery. Its pressing rollers deflate air from the folded products, guaranteeing sharper folds and significantly improving the quality of the finished stack.

Pressing Rollers Deflate Air for Sharper Folds
At the core of the Stream Press Stack Delivery are its pressing rollers. As conveyor belts guide folded sheets through the pair of rollers, controlled pressure is applied to deflate the air from between the layers. This simple but powerful action eliminates trapped air, reduces stack height, and most importantly, guarantees sharper folds. The result is flatter signatures, cleaner creases, and a more professional appearance. For binderies and print shops, this means higher customer satisfaction and fewer complaints about bulky or poorly folded products.
Easier Unloading and Excellent Customer Quality
The Stream Press Stack Delivery is designed for both operator convenience and product quality. After passing through the pressing rollers, products are delivered in neat, compressed stacks, making it easier to unload the products to the pallet – no manual pressing or reorganizing required. At the same time, you can offer your customers an excellent quality because every folded product leaves the line with sharp, well‑defined creases and a flat profile. Whether you produce brochures, booklets, or folded signatures for binding, this delivery system enhances the final product’s appearance and handling characteristics. Integrated Sheet Monitoring and Marking for Exact Counts
Accuracy in counting is critical for finishing operations. The Stream Press Stack Delivery features integrated sheet monitoring and marking functions. Sensors track every sheet as it passes through the system, and when a preset quantity is reached, the machine can mark the stack (e.g., with a flag or ink jet) to indicate a batch break. This allows operators to unload an exact amount of products without manual counting, reducing rework and improving downstream efficiency. Height Adjustable Infeed for Universal Compatibility
One of the biggest challenges in post‑press integration is matching delivery height to different folding machines. The Stream Press Stack Delivery solves this with a height adjustable infeed section, making it universally compatible with all brand folding machines – from entry‑level tabletop folders to high‑speed industrial buckle folders. Simply adjust the infeed height to match the folding machine’s exit level, and the Stream Press Stack Delivery is ready to run. This universal compatibility makes it an ideal upgrade for any print shop or bindery looking to improve fold quality and delivery efficiency. |
