Hunkeler AG Paper Processing

Generation 8

Hunkeler is unveiling the new Generation 8. The new technology is consistently designed for digital color printing systems and processes web widths up to 22.5 inches wide (570 millimeters) at a web speed of up to 180 meters per minute. Generation 8 is ready for future printer generations in the top performance class. Sections with variable formats, changing punch and perforation patterns, and variable collating of sheets or folded signatures are just some of the finishing processes that are dynamically controlled.

Generation 8 was developed especially for the requirements of commercial printing. The modules gently process full-color printed products on coated and uncoated papers, from light to heavy grammages.

The modular system includes the unwind and rewind modules UW8 and RW8 (roll-to-roll production), the Web Merger module WM8 (slit and merge), the WF8 web folder (optionally with merger device), the DP8 dynamic perforator for dynamic perforation lengthwise and crosswise plus dynamic punch holes, the CS8 cutter with slitting and simple and double cross cutting cylinder, the LS8 stacking module with optional SE sheet stacking device (for the lateral stacking of individual sheets in the stacks during production) and the LS8-30 B2 sheet delivery.
