Details & specifications
The DP8 Dynamic Perforator is Hunkeler's high-speed perforating and punching module for transactional, direct mail, and promotional print lines. It perforates, scores, and punches on the fly, so those steps happen inline instead of in a separate pass. Optional modules add web inspection, web cleaning, edge trim and center cutting, and stacked delivery on the same line.
