In a move to further improve turnaround times, this past November C.J. Graphics of Toronto installed a Busch SWH 125 (R) LA pile turner.
Purchased from Canadian Printing Equipment, the German-made hydraulic lifting system rotates a pile of paper 180-degrees replacing time-consuming manual handling processes.
Pressroom operations expert Ray Prince, senior consultant with NAPL, often speaks of the significant efficiency benefits printers can derive by simply installing pile turners and joggers.
The machine acquired by C.J. Graphics (able to handle sheets up to 31-1/2 x 47 inches) is equipped with airing, jogging and aligning capabilities. The pile turner is designed to set up sheets for hassle-free running on the company’s line-up of automated 40-inch Heidelberg sheetfed presses.
