Palamides: Delta Automatic Delivery & Collator System

The Palamides Delta Automatic Delivery & Collator System is an intelligent post-press automation solution developed to maximise productivity while reducing manual handling throughout the finishing process. Designed for commercial print environments, the Delta combines advanced collating, stacking, counting, jogging, and automated delivery functions into a single, highly efficient system.

Suitable for integration behind folding machines, saddle stitchers, digital printing lines, mailing systems and existing collators, the Delta creates perfectly aligned, banded bundles that are ready for immediate downstream processing or dispatch. By automating repetitive handling tasks, the system enables continuous production with fewer operators while maintaining exceptional product quality and consistency.

Intelligent Collating & Delivery

The Delta has been engineered to automate the final stages of print production by accurately collating, counting, jogging and delivering finished products into secure, easy-to-handle bundles.

Unlike manual delivery systems, the Delta continuously organises printed products into precisely aligned stacks before automatically applying bands for secure transport and further finishing. This significantly reduces operator workload while maintaining consistent production speeds throughout every shift.

High-Speed Automated Performance

Designed for demanding commercial printing environments, the Delta delivers outstanding production efficiency with capacities of up to 600 packages per hour per product flow, achieving as many as 1,800 packages per hour depending on the production configuration.

For even greater throughput, the Delta Tandem configuration can further increase production capacity, making the system suitable for high-volume commercial and industrial print operations.

Advanced Product Handling

The Delta's intelligent handling system has been developed to process a wide variety of printed products with exceptional accuracy.

Whether handling products with uneven edges, smooth coated stocks, irregular formats or lightweight printed materials, the automated jogging and stacking process creates stable, uniform bundles ready for transport or downstream finishing.

Consistent product alignment improves handling, reduces waste and minimises production interruptions.

Seamless Production Integration

The Palamides Delta is designed to integrate effortlessly into existing finishing lines without disrupting workflow.

The system can be installed behind:

• Folding machines
• Saddle stitchers
• Digital printing presses
• Mailing systems
• Collating machines
• Stitching lines
• Inkjet production lines

This flexibility allows print businesses to automate product delivery across multiple production processes while maintaining maximum operational efficiency.

Efficient Automated Delivery

The Delta transforms labour-intensive manual stacking into a fully automated delivery process.

Finished products are counted, aligned, stacked and securely banded before being transferred for packing, shipping or further finishing. Stable bundles improve ergonomics, reduce handling time and help protect printed products during transport throughout the production facility.

The result is a faster, cleaner and more efficient post-press workflow with reduced labour requirements and greater production consistency.
