Alpha series
Easy operation and minimal maintenance
A high proportion of mechanical adjustments guaran-
tees easy operation as well as minimal maintenance and
repair work. This leads to a high efficiency rate (70% or
more) as downtime is minimized.
Modular system
The modular concept of the Alpha series offers you
a complete range of paper converting processes: print-
ing, cutting, counting, collecting, stitching, folding and
finishing. All units are designed to complement each
other so that a module can be added as and when your
growing business and your customers require it.
Efficiency that pays for itself
You can always count on the Alpha series for perfect
production reliability. A performance at speeds of
300 m/min. (or 60 strokes) gives you top productivity.
It goes without saying that products converted on this
series are guaranteed export quality. The excellent
price/performance ratio means too, that your invest-
ment will pay for itself in no time!
