The V Twister,
When your lay-flat publications deserve that extra twist.

The V Twister turns your double-sided printed and printable paper into lay-flat pages. To ensure that books and publications of all kinds stay open, our innovative technology makes two folds in one single movement creating a double hinge in every sheet of paper.

Compact, fully electric device

Easy to install and to move

No warm-up time

Works independently for up to 45 minutes,

no need for the intervention of an operator.

Suited for small print runs.

Low investment compared to other lay-flat solutions.

The location of the hinge is adjustable in one single run.

More possible applications: thick books,

dust jackets and book covers.

How does the V Twister work?

Load your job in the feeder tray.

Each page is fed into the V Twister and gripped by the clamps at a predefined position.

The clamps move at the predefined angle,
creating a hinge in each sheet.

The sheets are ejected into the output tray
