Gateway's NEW patent pending Reverse Cut PLASTIKOIL®

Standard Cut

Reverse Cut *Patent Pending

The reverse cut lead edge smoothly funnels its way through the punch hole in comparison to the standard cut lead edge. A great advantage especially when binding thicker books. An option on the PLASTIKOIL® New Concept Former. Retrofits also available for existing machines.

The NCF6 Concept Former manufactured by Gateway Bookbinding Systems Ltd.

The new NCF6 control system with its Allen-Bradley Micro 850 PLC and Panelview C400 4.3 inch color touchscreen improves the operator interface, making it easy and fast to set up the machine or change sizes. Pre-programmed temperature and machine speed values are optimized for each coil diameter insuring consistent top quality coil while at the same time insuring MAXIMUM productivity.

Unique 2 Roller System
Allows for easier mandrel changes and a better cool air flow around the forming coil.

Automatic Oiling
Ensures precise amount of oil is released so coil is not under lubricated or too greasy.

Innovative Hot Start Feature
The Hot Start Feature allows the NCF6 Concept Former to Stop and Start – without any interruptions in production. Hot air keeps the filament warm as it exits the heater drum so that when the Former re-starts there is no product distortion. A very important feature that allows the Concept QS Interline Systems to operate as well as they do.
