The new creasing and folding machine will be shown for the first time at drupa 2024
Set to debut on the Plockmatic Group stand, Morgana Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Plockmatic International, has announced it will debut its new DigiFold Ultra creasing/folding machine with full-bleed trim capabilities.
The machine is described as being able to slit, cut, crease, perforate, and fold in one pass and is designed for mid-to-high volume digital and offset production presses.
The DigiFold Ultra builds on the capabilities of the DigiFold Pro XL by adding the slitting and cutting functionality for full-bleed trim applications with full-bleed applications such as six or eight-panel brochures becoming an “easy task” for A4 landscape finished formats.
Ray Hillhouse, vice president of Sales & Marketing for the Plockmatic Group Offline Business Unit, says: “The DigiFold Ultra maintains the high productivity speeds of the Pro XL platforms. Adding trimming and cutting capabilities means that we can automate even more stages in the production of the finished product.
“Helping to reduce the number of manual steps required in the print shop means less room for error. This is an affordable, robust, high-speed solution for businesses looking to reduce operator involvement and instead focus on activities that drive profitability and growth.”
The capability to trim long sheets is a “strategic complement” to the latest printing presses, says Morgana, as the Ultra can trim sheets of up to 1,300mm, meaning there is no need for a free-standing guillotine for the trimming of 560mm long sheets.
The standard product is listed as including the dual folding knives, one DynaCreaser, two slitting knives, and one cross-cut knife.
Morgana says the DigiFold Ultra will be available to order on the stand, with deliveries currently starting in June 2024.
Drupa 2024 will take place from May 28th to June 7th in the Dusseldorf Exhibition Centre, Germany.
