Kompac & Tecnau: A Powerful Partnership Redefining Printing Solutions at PRINTING United Expo
At Booth B2806 in the PRINTING United Expo, Kompac and Tecnau join forces in a groundbreaking display of first-time exhibitions, showcasing the strength of their collaborative efforts. The spotlight of Tecnau's exhibit is the Stack 1212 cut/stack line, seamlessly integrated with the Kompac Phoenix 20S Coater. This dynamic duo is tailored for B2/B2+ sheets and represents Tecnau's market-leading portfolio of production finishing solutions.
The Phoenix 20S coater flood coats and feeds sheets to Tecnau's Stack 1212, which, in a single pass, cross cuts, removes gutters and side trims, presenting finished, coated postcards stacked on the exit conveyor. This innovative process eliminates the need for manual substrate handling, supporting up to 21-up impositions and paper weights up to 350 gsm at speeds of up to 6000 input sheets per hour. The Stack 1212 is versatile, capable of cutting postcards, letters, books, brochures, and calendars down to size.
