Description
The V-Stack36 vertical stacker is designed to work with a variety of Formax pressure sealers and tabletop
folders. Unlike a traditional outfeed conveyor, it stacks forms vertically, providing a neat stack which is easier to
unload for further processing. A height-adjustable stand with locking casters is available to align with a variety
of inputs. The stand is optional for use with tabletop folders and pressure sealers, and required for use with
production pressure sealers.
