- Description
Exclusively G&K-Vijuk’s…
- G&K-Vijuk patented outsert systems are for the production of RTA (right-turn-angle) cross-folded outserts. Outserts, which have become the standard for providing information in the pharmaceutical industry, are leaflets that are folded to a small size and secured to form closed leaflets which will not spring open during packaging operations or while affixed directly onto product containers.
Significant advantages for you and your customers…
- The MV-11 Double Knife Systems fold an intermediate range of finished outsert sizes, folding up to 250 panels, as small as 1-1/ 8" x 1-1/ 8".
- Larger outserts allow more copy space for your customer.
- Each knife unit is followed by high-compression pressing units, which results in very compact outserts that are easier to handle manually and mechanically—and will give advantageous options in packaging.
Tailored to fit your needs...
- Components for outsert systems are designed to handle light-weight stock for pharmaceutical and miniature leaflet folding.
- Station I options are:
- GUK FA35/43 Folders—13-3/4" (35 mm) or 17"( 43 cm) wide format with 4 to 12 plates.
- GUK FA53 Folder—20-3/4" (53 cm) wide format with 12 to 24 plates. (See MV-11 24-Plate Outsert Systems for technological advancements in the folding system.)
- GUK FA73 Folder (28-3/4"/ 73 cm) wide format with 12 plates.
- Station II is a 2-plate GUK Folder modified with special folding rollers, plates, and pressure roller to handle the thick, small-size leaflets.
- The R6 Round-Pile Feeder is standard. The FL2 or FL3 Flat-Pile Feeder are available, depending on your needs (see Feeders).
Modular design gives you production flexibility and efficiency…
- See Special Features for advanced production efficiency.
- If your customer needs change, the MV-11 Double Knife System can be upgraded to an MV-11 Triple Knife System with the addition of a knife unit and a pressing unit.
- MV Outsert Systems can be configured as required.
- Optional Accessories and Supplementary Equipment are available for optimizing production or adding applications.

Special Features
"Intelligent" self-teaching jam detection…
The ELECTRONIC JAM DETECTING SENSOR (1), one of many on the outsert system, is part of “intelligent” self-teaching jam detection. Sensors throughout the system record the timing of sheet passage. If product does not arrive at a sensor point in the proper time, the operation preceding that point will shut down to prevent further jamming and minimize downtime.
Continuous Production…
FA53 FOLDER DOUBLE-SHEET EJECTION SYSTEM
When the Double-Sheet Detector (1) sheets or a miss-feed,…-

…it activates the pneumatic cylinders (2) that open the gate (3) through which double sheets are ejected before they reach the folder. Production continues uninterrupted. (FA73 Folders have a similar ejection system.)

Compact outserts…
-
WATER SCORING (4), combined with rotary scoring, brings about accurate, tight folds.
Accurately folded outserts…
-
FOLD-LENGTH MONITORS, one concealed above the exit rollers on Station I and one mounted beneath the exit rollers on Station II, measure product coming through and stop the machine when the folded length is incorrect.

R6 Round-Pile Feeder
- The continuous-load ROUND-PILE FEEDER is for feeding longer-size sheets up to 56-5/8" (144 cm) long.
- The TOP SUCTION WHEEL (1) shielded by a safety cover, aided by air blasts from front and two sides (2), transfers sheets to the register table.
- The ELECTRONIC DOUBLE-SHEET DETECTOR (3).
FL3 Flat-Pile Feeder
- Feeds sheets up to 40-7/8" (104 cm) in length. Its maximum pile height is 27-1/2" (70 cm).
- REAR SUCTION HEADS (1) on the FL3 lift sheets with the aid of air blasts while the TOP SUCTION WHEEL (2), shielded by a safety cover, transfers them to the anti-static alignment table leading to Station II.

Baumer hhs® Xcam Camera… - Gives you content-quality assurance.
- Makes independent top and bottom readings.
- Blank sheet or missing data detection.
- Barcode reading.
- Job recall.
Glue Verification System - Ensures all outserts are properly secured.
- Gluing is performed on-the-fly in the knife in-feed area.
- When programmed for 100% verification, and the scanners do not see glue on the outserts, the feeder will be turned off to stop production for manual removal of incomplete outserts.
- When the station is used in conjunction with the G&K–Vijuk TTM, CTM or CM Station, the non-glued outserts will be ejected automatically through the station while production continues uninterrupted.
UM90 Turn Station - Modular station for optimal use of your produciton area.
- Easy integration without tools
- Footprint reduction of up to 40% or 222 sq. ft. (20 sq. m).
