The Polar Transomat TR 1 is a guillotine — a machine used in print finishing and paper processing to make straight, high-precision cuts through stacked sheets — offered here as a used unit manufactured in 2003 and currently located in Germany. Polar is a well-established name in the printing and finishing industry, recognised globally as a leading manufacturer of guillotines, cutters, and associated handling equipment for commercial print, packaging, and bindery operations.
This particular machine is a Transomat automated destacking and palletising unit, designed to work in conjunction with a high-speed cutter. Positioned to the left of the cutter as a performance-enhancing alternative to a conventional stack lift, the Transomat automatically receives and places both split and unsplit layers onto pallets while cutting continues uninterrupted on the cutter side. This parallel operation — destacking simultaneously with cutting — is the core productivity advantage the machine delivers.
According to the seller's notes, the Transomat reduces production costs by between 25 and 70 percent depending on the cutting programme, a significant saving attributable to the elimination of idle time between cutting and stacking cycles. A pallet tipping mechanism contributes to particularly high edge accuracy in the finished stacks, meaning output can proceed directly to further processing steps without additional straightening or handling. The combination of faster throughput and improved stack quality makes this unit suited to high-volume cutting environments where both efficiency and precision are priorities.
