We are looking into purchasing our first folder gluer and are deciding between a 1999 Moll Marathon and 2000 Kluge Unifold. We will mainly be running standard 9pt ~ 16pt pocket folders. Hoping someone might have some insight as to why one might be a better choice than the other.
Some thoughts and concerns:
Thanks to all in advance.
Some thoughts and concerns:
- "Crows feet" from standard folding plates on the Moll Marathon. Unifold seems to have buckle fold plates that I've heard solves this issue.
- Kluge Unifold parts/service might not be as readily available as the more popular Moll Marathon.
- Kluge seems to have more capabilities and in overall better condition than the Moll.
- Moll is about $10,000 cheaper and is being bundled with a 21x28 cylinder die cutter at a great price, but is being shipped here with no chance to see it running.
- Kluge is local and under power so we will have a chance to see it running live.
Thanks to all in advance.
