Morgana has launched the AutoCreaser Pro XL, the sixth generation of the AutoCreaser machine it first released 20 years ago.

The Pro XL, originally meant to be launched at drupa 2020, boasts a maximum running speed of 8500 sheets per hour, making it Morgana’s most productive creaser to date. It also takes a maximum sheet size of 385 x 1300mm with the table extension, which comes as standard.

‘The original AutoCreaser released back in 2000 put Morgana at the vanguard of digital finishing,’ said Ray Hillhouse, vice president of sales and marketing for the Plockmatic Group Offline Business Unit. ‘This latest Pro XL model demonstrates that we continue to listen to what the market needs. There have now been close to 10,000 units of all versions of this market leading family of creasers sold since the original in the year 2000. With this new addition we can show that the ever-reliable creaser simply gets more versatile, easier to use, and above all more productive.’

This new variant of the machine has been developed to handle the ever-increasing demand for long sheet finishing, while its new Adaptive Process Control monitors sheet feeding in a closed loop process. It has also been specifically designed to handle the widest range of media. and its feeder continuously checks the paper float zone and automatically ‘makes adjustments on the fly.’ Morgana says this is an industry first for a product of this class and ensures ‘highest ever feed reliability.’  

The AutoCreaser Pro XL can also be linked to the Morgana AutoFold Pro to provide an even more complete finishing solution.
