Ferag to Feature Solutions for Newspapers and Magazines at drupa

HINWIL, SWITZERLAND—March 19, 2012—At drupa 2012, Ferag will be ready with innovations and developments for the production of newspapers, magazines and advertising titles.

TapeFix is a new way to secure insert collections. So processes in the production of advertising freesheets become simpler and less expensive. TapeFix takes the place of a wrapper, making sure that the collections stay together. TapeFix is also an inexpensive alternative for inserting supplements as part of the newspaper production process.

In the area of polybagging, Polypacer now processes bundles in the DIN A4 to A5 range of formats. By offsetting the inkjet head, or attaching a second head, inline labeling is possible on packed or unpacked products.

MiniSert, meanwhile, lets you take a straightforward, low-cost step from the manual to automatic inserting process. The modular inserting line means that a modest capital outlay can bring inserting production to a new performance level with a low cost basis.

In newspaper production, the trend is increasingly towards top performance – with the shortest production routes from the folder delivery to the loading docks. Everything points towards the online inserting process, as can be assured by Ferag technology alone. Production on the inserting system is at 75,000 cph.

Now, the Accraply application module can be integrated in front of the JobStack 90 compensating stacker inlet. The solution shows how the MemoStick advertising format can also be used on simple, inexpensive online configurations incorporating components from WRH Marketing AG’s JobFolio series.
