The Tech-ni-Fold CreaseStream Auto-Feed MKII is an automated high speed creasing solution for today’s digital printer. Designed for businesses that produce both short and high-volume production runs. It is the next level of automation – making the CreaseStream Auto-feed MKII one of the easiest creaser to operate. Just set the tools, press the button and you’ll get up to 5,000 sheets of perfectly creased paper per hour.
Digital stocks can be prone to marking or scuffing because the creaser uses a vacuum pump during feeding. The Auto-feed MKII eliminates this problem with an innovative gravity flow feeder. This gently kisses the sheets, making only minimum contact and therefore zero opportunity to mark delicate work. The end result, flawlessly creased sheets every time with no damage to the fibres of the media.
Patented Tri-Creaser Advance technology is the only application especially designed to crease both sides of the sheet to enhance crease strength and presentation. Crease ribs gently manipulate and stretches the media to eliminate cracking during the folding stage. Adjustable locking side lays guide the media into the creasing tools. Whilst guide rollers ensure the media remains square during the creasing process where up to 2 creases can be performed simultaneously. Crease tools can be reversed to crease positively into or negatively out of the sheet. This feature is very useful for fold patterns that require a positive and negative crease in the same pass, for instance a Z Fold.
The Auto-feed MKII also has the ability to produce cylinder quality micro-perforation with optional tooling. Produces fine and flat micro-perforations on materials from 64 to 400gsm. Perforation quality is so high that perforated sheets can be run through a laser or digital printer, trouble free!
All CreaseStream machines feature the world’s first and only rotary creasing technology, developed by printers for printers. A soft creasing rib gently stretches the material to create a deep, defined crease without damaging fibres in the stock.
