This unit turns the product vertical as it stacks to form an easy to handle stream that has a greatly reduced build rate. A kicking assembly can help mark batch counts so the operator can be more efficient. The 177.1 is available in two versions, a mobile unit (used by most) and a hang-on unit.

Both units come with independent self-control, which allows it to be used in a wider range of configurations including lines with older machines or machines from other suppliers.
