Turning
All types of machine boards and pallets can be used, including
Heidelberg trolleys. A complete pile can be turned in just over
1 minute, saving valuable time on work-and-turn or work-and-tumble
jobs. A pile turner is also invaluable for turning work to present
to the folder or the laminator.

Airing
Before Printing
There are considerable advantages to airing the piles before printing:
|
 |
 |
separating sheets to minimise mis-feeds
|
|
|
removing paper dust
|
|
|
conditioning the material, where temperature and humidity vary
|
|
After Printing
A faster turnaround can be achieved with the use of a pile turner:
|
|
|
ink and varnish dries more quickly after airing
|
|
|
surplus spray powder is removed (essential when sending work
for lamination)
|
|
|
airing helps to neutralise taint & odour in food packaging
from the UV process

Aligning
The aligning gauge acts as the side-lay, and can be set to whichever
side-lay each press is running. The pile is then aligned to two
straight edges. If needed the aligning gauge can also be used
to centre piles on larger-sized pallets. Perfect alignment of
paper and board is achieved.
Jogging
Perfect alignment results from jogging and airing in the tilted
position (15°), even where the pile has moved in transit or
been badly-delivered. When used with airing it is possible to
remove single sheets of 80 gsm paper from the middle of the pile
– when it is in the horizontal position.
