?The BST10 and , BST10d+, towers have set the top standard in paper feeding reliability and consistency. The heavy duty construction of the towers allows the BST towers to function profitably for many years after competitive machines have become obsolete.

The BST is engineered to exceed the expectations of commercial printers, quick printers, trade binderies and digital printers who need to produce high quality booklets. The ease of use and productivity of the BST will increase your profits and throughput.

The BST is a 10 station, modular, vertical, full width, section belt collator. (not using inferior suction rollers or partial width suction feed).

The system is expandable at any time tower by tower up to 50 stations. The Bourg unique original full width suction belt feeding system feeds the widest range of paper qualities and weights from 45 gsm to 250 gsm and from CD size up to 350 x 520 mm.

The collator system is fully expandable with stacker, combined criss-cross jogger, straight jogger, and a range of automatic and manual adjustment booklet making and square fold accessories.

An easy-to-understand colour touch screen interface gives the operator a clear and immediate view on the collator status and configuration.

Programming is very simple: in automatic mode, the operator presses only one icon on the screen and the BSTd+ locates all bins with paper in and sets automatically default settings for all feeding parameters. Each parameter can be fine-tuned if necessary.
The standard screen gives a graphical overview of all the parameters: selected bins, suction and air level for each tower, speed of the towers, etc.
Also available without touchscreen (BST 10-d)

?Dual Output allows you to run the right tower (main) either left or right into finishing accessories on the left side, such as the TD-d or jogger, while at the same time having the booklet making system installed to the right, which gives twice the flexibility to the system.

Changeover is at the touch of a button and indicated by a direction light on the tower body or allows you to run several towers simultaneously to the right and to the left at the same time. Eg in a 4 tower system you could run 2 to the left and 2 to the right or any other mix you choose.

??Bourg uniquely uses super high power dual brushless turbines (built into the machine and not outside), with a full width high volume air plenum, for a full width air suction perforated belt feed, with individual air valves per bin.
The air blast system has its own built in turbine and blows 3 times more air to the paper pile than competition, allowing the top sheet to float free of the pile over its whole length, (no more doubles see picture). This system is so good it has been selected by OEM customers to feed their own devices.

Other inferior systems use a plastic feed roller with point contact (less grip and more marking) or narrow width belt feeding, with a tiny air plenum, and tiny computer cooling fans with very low output, and no air valves, so feeding is irregular.
