Morgana VFX+ Feeders

Morgana VFX+ Feeder – A high capacity 3500 sheet vacuum feeder

Morgana VFX+

The Morgana VFX+ is Plockmatic Group’s next-generation vacuum feeding platform, designed to deliver improved productivity, flexibility, and ease of use. Building on the proven VFX feeder, it supports a wider range of media sizes
and performs reliably in demanding environments, including high-humidity and high-static conditions.

Suitable for light to mid-volume production, the VFX+ can be configured for varied workflow requirements. Enhanced feeding technology improves mixed-media handling, while support for speciality substrates such as transparent sheets and tabbed paper expands application possibilities.

Automatic paper size detection uses integrated sensor arrays within the vacuum trays to identify media on loading, simplifying setup and reducing operator input. Combined with intuitive controls, improved jam clearance, and reduced
setup times, the VFX+ delivers efficient, reliable, and userfriendly operation.

Overall, it provides a stable, automated feeding solution designed for seamless integration with modern finishing systems.


Automatic Tray Switching

Maximum productivity for longer jobs is achieved through Automatic Tray Switching, which enables long unattended runs and the loading of empty trays during a run.

Adaptive Feed Settings

The VFX+ is equipped with a highly automated vacuum feed technology specifically designed to handle the widest range of pre-printed media.

Thin and curled media

The VFX+ is equipped with completely redesigned geometry in the vacuum feed area to improve performance on thinner media. Curled media is a challenge for any feeding system. The VFX+ has an enhancing feeding performance, specifically designed to handle media that has curled.

2D Barcode Reader Kit for the Morgana VFX Feeder

The VFX can be equipped with an optional Barcode reading kit. The barcode kit enables variable page count jobs and ensures set integrity when document accuracy is critical.

The barcode option for the VFX feeder takes the NearLine workflow to a new level. With 2 readers (1 in each tray) every sheet feed is monitored and provides set integrity and feeding information to the booklet making system. Sheets could be feed from both trays and set size could vary anywhere within the booklet makers capability. An ideal solution for financial reports or similar type of documents where each booklet is personalized

VFX+ – Single tray configuration

The single-tray configuration provides a cost-effective entry-level solution while retaining the proven performance of the VFX+ platform. The vacuum feed tray holds up to 1,750 sheets of 80gsm paper and supports the full range of media sizes, delivering reliable feeding and efficient production.


VFX+ – Two-tray configuration

The dual-tray system supports uninterrupted production by allowing one tray to be reloaded while the other is running. Each tray holds up to 1,750 sheets of 80gsm paper, providing a total capacity of 3,500 sheets.
Two independent pick points make it ideal for booklet production, where covers and content often require different media types and weights.


Multi-Purpose Tray (MPT)

The Multi-Purpose Tray (MPT) adds a second or third feeding station to the VFX+, increasing flexibility and media capacity. It can be used as a dedicated cover feeder for booklet production or to add up to 640 sheets of 80gsm capacity.
Its air-assisted friction-feed system reliably handles coated and uncoated stocks up to 450gsm, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of applications.
