Tecnau S20 Stacker – High-Capacity Sheet Stacking

- Stack buffering without stopping the printer

Tecnau M20 Merger – Lane Merging for 2-Up Webs
The Tecnau M20 Merger is an optional but highly valuable module used in 2-up inkjet web finishing lines. It slits and merges two parallel web lanes into a single, collated output stream before cutting and stacking.
Instead of producing two separate stacks from a 2-up print, the M20 aligns and merges both lanes into one continuous, ordered sheet stream—ideal for workflows that require single-stream processing.
Benefits of the M20 Merger
- Converts 2-up webs into a single collated stream
- Improves downstream efficiency
- Reduces handling and post-processing complexity
- Ideal for transactional and book applications
