ST 280

The ST 280 is the perfect log stacking solution for small to midsize commercial presses with 16/24/32p running up to 50.000 cph (up to 64p on slower book presses). With its ability to handle very short logs the ST 280 becomes first choice in all environments with manual log handling. Undisputed are the benefits of the vertical log stacking with flimsy tabloid signatures as well as with 3-side open products. In addition, behind PFF-folders with 2 or 4 deliveries, the ST 280 allows for a space saving side-by-side configuration with central monitoring and operation of all 2 or 4 stackers. Besides the ST 280 A (Automatic) a semi-automatic version makes log stacking also affordable behind slower presses and in price sensitive markets.
