With Ferag : more bundles, fewer personnel
The Giesdorf Media Centre, Detmold, Germany,
which operates two Ferag MultiStack
compensating stackers in the packaging
sector inclusive topsheet production and
Ferag’s SmartStrap strapping machines.
|
Germany-based the Giesdorf
Media Centre is using
mailroom systems from
Ferag AG, Switzerland, to ready one
of Germany’s oldest daily
newspapers for dispatch. Following
on from TTR conveyor technology
and the ETR inserting line, a new
packaging sector was recently
commissioned at their facility,
incorporating two MultiStack
compensating stackers inclusive
topsheet production and SmartStrap
strapping machines. LineMaster
handles line control and addressing,
and also forms the interface to
Giesdorf’s distribution partners.
The installation is up and running
to the complete satisfaction of the
customer and achieves top
bundling quality and stability, plus
high performance due to short
operating cycles for the systems.
Savings in personnel have been
achieved by the change to
automatic topsheet production
(with thermal printing).
The Lippische Landes-Zeitung,
now in its 242nd year and appearing
in full 35x55 cm format, is produced
in circulations of around 49,000 for
each of the Monday to Friday
editions comprising a main product
and preprints. The Giesdorf Media
Centre also produces some 110,000
copies of the Lippische Neueste
Nachrichten advertising paper in
half format once a week, and once
a month approximately 26,500
copies of the Blomberger Anzeiger.
Then there’s an outside product
(tabloid) with a 20,000 copy
circulation, which is bundled
using MultiStack und SmartStrap
from Ferag.
