Description

From the roll to finished gathered signatures or glued book blocks - inline and digital

The Hunkeler Plowfolder Book Solution is a worldwide leader in the on-demand production of book blocks with variable page counts and flexible format lengths – thanks to the DynaCut function. Its attractive price-performance ratio, high flexibility, and the excellent quality of pre-glued book blocks make it the ideal solution for entering industrial on-demand book production.


In addition to processing 4-, 6- and 8-page signatures for glued book blocks, the system also enables the production of loose-leaf stacks for thread-sewn books.


The Plowfolder Book Solution can be operated both inline with a printing system and nearline, downstream of a perfect binder.
