Start-up waste, blanket-wash and splicer waste – in every postpress application there is the need to separate good copies from waste copies. The best way to do this is with automatic waste gates, triggered by the web press and controlled by the postpress system. Ideally the waste gate is closely coupled with a stream aligner and a squeeze roller, so that a perfect shingled stream is delivered to the downstream equipment.
In addition to automatic waste gates, we also offer waste removal systems for several web presses. These solutions range from simple incline conveyors, waste chutes up to complete waste removal systems that deliver waste from multiple lines to a central overhead or underground conveyor system.
If space is an issue, our waste towers will vertically transport the ejected bad copies and discharge them onto a waste conveyor or into a container.
