DESCRIPTION

FUNCTION

The 920 Burster bursts (breaks apart) single and multi-part
continuous forms and feeds them sequentially onto the stacker.
The optional Slitter enables the operator to remove the trim at
the same speed the forms are being burst.
The Sequence Stacker allows continuous runs of forms without
stopping the Burster to unload the Stacker. Web belts carry the
forms from the Burster output onto a slanted grill where they are
partially jogged for removal.
