Phoenix 20S Bypass Tecnau Stack 1212

Kompac & Tecnau Partner on an Inline Coater/Cutter/Stacker Perfect for Direct Mail 

Kompac and Tecnau have come together to make an all in one coater, cutter and stacker. Sheets are effortlessly loaded into the Phoenix 20 Pallet Feeder, eliminating the need for manual handling. The Feeder delivers sheets precisely on demand into the Phoenix 20 coating module. This is where the coating is seamlessly applied to the sheet and we have an extensive range of coatings. 

After the sheets are coated and dried by our IR and UV dryers they are then passed through to the Stack 1212. The sheets are directed into the Stack 1212’s alignment module, where they undergo precise positioning before being transferred to the cutter. The cutter performs exact single-slits or gutter cuts along the direction of travel as needed, trims out edges, and executes single or double cuts across the direction of travel to accommodate full bleed documents. The Phoenix 20 in configuration with the Tecnau Stack 1212 supports impositions from 1-up to an impressive maximum of 21-up (with no bleed removal, or a maximum of 18 up with bleed removal). 

Key features of Phoenix 20 Stack 1212

• All in one B2 sheet-fed cut & stack coating system 

• Configurable inline or near line

• Convenient hands off feeding from pallet 

• Around the clock support with IOTech 4.0
