Device and method for folding a print substrate web

摘要

A device and a method for folding a print substrate web is disclosed. The device has devices for quarter folding and for cross-cutting the print substrate web for severing individual products as well as devices for cross folding. As viewed in the transport direction of the products, an arrangement for dividing the product stream is provided after a second quarter folding device, the arrangement conveying the successive products to a first and a second conveyor belt in an alternating manner.

主权项

1. A device for folding a print substrate web, comprising:
a first quarter fold device; a cross cutting device, wherein the cross cutting device is disposed downstream in a transport direction from the first quarter fold device; a cross fold device, wherein the cross fold device is disposed downstream in the transport direction from the cross cutting device; a second quarter fold device, wherein the second quarter fold device is disposed downstream in the transport direction from the cross fold device; a splitter, wherein the splitter is disposed downstream in the transport direction from the second quarter fold device; and a first conveyor and a second conveyor; wherein successive printed products severed from the print substrate web by the cross cutting device are conveyable by the splitter to the first conveyor and the second conveyor in an alternating manner; wherein the first conveyor and the second conveyor convey respective printed products to a first fan wheel and a second fan wheel, respectively; and wherein a common drive drives the splitter and the first fan wheel and the second fan wheel and wherein the common drive does not drive other devices.
