At Berryville Graphics, a Milestone in Book Printing

With special diverts integrated throughout the system, the accumulators collect the diverted books and refeed them back into the system to keep it continuously running.

"If the binder goes down, the accumulator refeeds the backload into the trimmer," explains Barry Hockenberry, Berryman's director of manufacturing services. "Conversely, if the trimmer goes down, the binder continues to run and accumulate books. The accumulator becomes a buffer area to ensure maximum productivity."
