Cox Target Media’s New Valpak Plant to Feature Muller Martini Press Delivery Automation

Helping to make such a high level of productivity achievable is the press delivery system and digital workflow communications solutions from Muller Martini. The new Valpak plant will employ two 8-unit Goss Sunday 4000 AT web offset presses with up to 12 different products coming into a fully-automated high-speed Muller Martini press delivery system consisting of a Floorveyor, in-line deserting units, Topveyor overhead conveyors, and 12 PrintRoll twin winding stations. The complete press delivery operation will be controlled by the proprietary Muller Martini MACOS (Master Control System). Utilizing JDF and JMF in the CIP4 protocol, the system will track all of the 12 products delivered for print finishing – and for the first time ever in the industry, this “smart” press delivery technology will communicate back to the press, in real time, JMF messaging, to commence auto transfer to begin printing the next set of 12 signatures.
