The delivery is used for optimum pressing and efficient pile formation in conjunction with ergonomic removal especially in multiple-up production. It produces optimum product piles – this is ensured by equipment details such as the driven stop roller and a knife edge. The take-off height is always constant as both the machine – via a lifting scissor – and the press infeed can be inclined. The BAS-FSA offers a wide range of adjustment options in detail. Their accessibility is outstanding especially when adjusting or removing sample sheets. The BAS-FSA is used in the medium run length range and for frequent multiple-up production. By means of an adapter cable it can be used behind all common folding machines and also on saddle stitchers Working width 600 mm Product thickness max. 8 mm max.

About this machine
The Desta BAS–FSA 600 is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a folder or sheet folder — designed for use in the printing and finishing industry. Folding machines of this type process printed or cut sheets into neatly folded and stacked products, and are particularly well suited to medium run lengths and frequent multiple-up production. Desta is a specialist manufacturer of delivery and stacking systems for the graphic arts and print-finishing sector, and the BAS–FSA range reflects that focus by combining a sheet press with an integrated stacking and pile-forming delivery unit.
The machine's primary function is to receive folded product from an upstream folding machine or saddle stitcher, press it under controlled pressure, and form uniform, ergonomically removable piles. An adapter cable allows it to connect to all common folding machines as well as saddle stitchers, making it a flexible addition to varied finishing lines. The working width is 600 mm, and the unit handles products from a minimum format of 100 × 80 mm up to a maximum of the full working width by 320 mm. Maximum product thickness is 8 mm, and stacking height reaches up to 400 mm. Pressing pressure is continuously adjustable across the full range of 0 to 20,000 N, giving operators precise control over pile density and product quality.
Transport speed is continuously variable between 50 and 230 metres per minute, accommodating both slow makeready runs and high-speed production. The import height is adjustable between 400 and 950 mm, allowing the machine to align with a wide range of upstream equipment, while the export height is fixed at 875 mm. Height adjustment throughout is achieved via a lifting scissor base, which also allows the machine itself to be inclined so that the take-off height remains constant during operation — an important feature for consistent pile formation. The press infeed can similarly be inclined to match changing conditions.
The pressing section is equipped with two pairs of hard-chrome plated press rolls with a diameter of 100 mm, each pair separately adjustable. Upper and lower infeed belts run within the sheet press, and grooved belt shafts allow quick repositioning of these belts during format changes or when spreading out multiple-ups, reducing changeover time significantly. A counting and marking device is included as standard equipment, supporting accurate batch management during production. The driven stop roller and knife edge contribute to consistent, well-formed product piles at the delivery end.
The machine is mounted on a mobile base running on swivel castors, giving it the manoeuvrability needed to reposition within a pressroom or bindery. This 2002 unit is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany.
