Braintree Printing Adds New Paper Counting Equipment

The Braintree Printing team was sold on two Count-Wise units displayed at GRAPH EXPO's tradeshow. They purchased the Count-Wise I which can count up to 2,500 sheets-per-minute and tabs in batches from 3 to 9,999. The unit has a 28x28˝ table, a jogging plate and foot-activated start switch.

The Count-Wise M offers the same speed and production capabilities of the Count-Wise I, but with a 36x36˝ air flotation table that can accommodate large and cumbersome stock. It has multiple jogging plates, large electronic displays and one button initiation.
The paper counter machines are being used in Braintree Printing’s bindery and pressroom. Hawes said the equipment's use is in the early stages but the company likes what it sees. The machines are particularly effective for packaged printed stock in specific amounts. “Often customers request banded or shrink-wrapped sheets in batches of 25, 18 up on a sheet. That’s a lot of counting if done by hand.”
