Solution: Valore Saddle Stitcher
Features: The Valore Saddle Stitcher is ideal for small- to medium-run lengths. It is equipped with a three-knife trimmer and may be outfitted with up to six twin feeders. Capable of rates of up to 6,000 cycles per hour, the saddle stitcher also comes with a key quality-control feature, a thickness control that will eject incomplete copies before they’re stitched, enabling rejected signatures to be reused.
Solution: Presto Saddle Stitcher
Features: For small to medium run lengths, the Presto Saddle Stitcher features a ridge caliper that measures thickness and guarantees that only complete copies are stitched and trimmed. A long-book detector also checks whether all signatures are neatly jogged up on the gathering chain, and incomplete products are automatically ejected for reloading, minimizing waste.
