Knock out Perforator Assembly
A special Knock-out Perforator is available for improved perfect-binding operations and
saddle stitching on your Baumfolder.
When signatures are brought from the folder, they are vacuum fed on most types of binders
and stitches. With some perforations, the vacuum can pull the sheets apart at the
perforations, causing problems with the feeding. By substituting the knock-out perforator, the
signatures hold together, thus reducing the problems on the binders and the stitchers. The
time you save on the finishing equipment will pay for the knock-out perforator. The knock-out
perforator also allows the air to escape when folding all bookwork, and provides an improved
adhesive surface for perfect binding. When using the Knock-out Perforator, the punched out
pieces are separated and stripped from the folded pieces. The initial price of the Knock-out
Perforator may be more expensive, but the life of the assembly is probably two or three
times long than an standard perforator, plus consider the labor and down time you save.
When mounting the perforator blade, the longer part of the tooth contacts the paper first then
the short part of the tooth knocks the knock-out out of the paper, (signature). The blade
holder should be mounted on the shaft so that the knurled knob tightens as the slitter shaft
turns the forward direction. The perforator should be on the top slitter shaft so the pieces of
paper knocked out falls on the floor.
