This Popp ZTM 078 is a flexo-folder gluer — a machine used in the corrugated and folded carton industry to print, fold, and glue flat blanks into finished boxes in a single, continuous pass. Popp is a German manufacturer known for producing precision sheet-handling and collating equipment for the packaging and print-finishing sectors.
At its core, the machine is configured as a gathering and separating system built around the type 078-20 platform (serial no. 001), equipped with three friction-feeder separating stations of type MAX 063-00 (serial no. 00810). These stations handle flat products between 0 and 20 mm thick, separating them individually from a stacked magazine using suction belts that operate with both open and closed edges in the running direction. The method relies on pushing the lowest product off the pile, which is the prerequisite for correct separation. The stacking magazine stands 200 mm high, and each separation unit incorporates an accelerator, double-sheet control, and a dedicated control cabinet.
The working width is 300 mm and the machine width is 450 mm. The smallest product the machine can handle measures 60 × 60 mm at a basis weight of 80 g/m², and the largest product measures 300 × 300 × 20 mm. A vacuum kit fitted with three belts allows quick changeover across different product widths, with vacuum pressure that is both adjustable and individually switchable per station. The vacuum system includes a pump with filter. Product retention through the transport path is achieved by hold-down belts, and product access is longitudinal. Gate options include a mini-lock for products from 30 mm width or a pendulum lock for products from 120 mm width upward.
Belt speed is variable from 0 to 120 m/min, and in continuous operation with plastic cards the machine is rated at a capacity of 1,000 pieces per minute. The discharge extension measures 300 mm in length, with optional lengths of 150 mm and 450 mm also available. The unit is mounted on a heavy C-foot with electrical height adjustment. Space requirement in length is 2,000 mm, and the machine weighs 300 kg.
Electrical supply is 1.0 kW at 240 V / 50 Hz, with conversion to US standard noted as possible. The control and operating panel provides drive start/stop, an emergency stop switch, single-cycle recall, a preset counter, and double-sheet monitoring. Operating modes include both continuous and cycle operation. Integration with third-party machines is supported via a Popp X 20 signal interface, and the display offers language switching between German and English. The machine dates from 2000, is offered in used condition, and is located in Germany.
