Cerutti newspaper press, 96 pages, 35.000 rph, PF233 folder

Product mix

Newspapers in A3 and A4 format

Configuration

The complete post press system behind a Cerutti 96 page newspaper web press consists of a central waste ejection system, one newspaper overhead conveying system with RS 310 heavy-duty upward and downward conveying towers as well as one RS 36 indexing stacker for newspapers.

The shingled streams of the two folder deliveries of the Cerutti web press are directed to a central waste ejection system where start-up, blanket wash and splice waste is ejected. Via a vertical heavy-duty conveying tower for newspapers the shingled stream is transported 90° upwards. The C-shaped upward and downward conveying towers were exclusively developed to ensure the secure and space-saving transport of newspaper products. The shingled stream is processed upwards between extra robust belts without any twisting. On the horizontal conveying belts the products are transported as an inverted shingled stream to the stacking area where they are directed 90° downwards to run positively into the RS 36 indexing newspaper stacker.

The RS 36 turns the shingled stream into neat bundles. Even products with high pagination are perfectly compressed and ejected via an intelligent servo pusher system with fully synchronized delivery belts to an air-operated delivery table.
