RQS-V folio sheeter

Variable Rotary Sheeter with unique sheet transportation system for lightweight paper, plastic film, beer label and more
Accelerate your production processes with the RQS-V: at a speed of 400 m/min., the folio sheeter cuts and transports single-layer lightweight paper starting from 30 g/m2 and plastic film starting from 80 μm, with stepless variable cut-off lengths of 400 mm - 1.050 mm. 

The RQS-V can be integrated into any web-fed press - offset, gravure, flexographic or digital, as it allows for the full speed advantage of a variable repeat web-fed press while providing size flexibility, too.
The inline configuration produces printed sheets at press speed at single pass. This eliminates speed reductions, intermediate handling and waste. Further finishing steps, like embossing or perforating, can be integrated with the sheeter.
