TWINNING

WPC folders offer the ultimate in folder flexibility - twinned presslines! Webs from two separate press lines can be combined into a single product. For example, the web in press line #1 bypasses the folding cylinders in folder #1, and is combined with webs from press line #2 to produce a two-section standard broadsheet product of up to 40 total pages. For magazine size products, the page count is limited only by fold characteristics of the paper.

When the presses are running independently, they have all the operating advantages of two separate, single line presses with their own folders available to handle a wide variety of production needs. By adding angle bars, ribbon shifters, bay windows, swing units, or upper formers, your plant will have the flexibility to produce even the most demanding product.

With upper formers added to a twinned press line, products of up to four sections can be produced. Tabloid products can be located inside broadsheet products. Twinning of WPC folders can give you these options.
