Fully-automated Press Delivery from Muller Martini Bringing Optimal Efficiency to the new Valpak Plant

When operational, the new Valpak plant will be capable of producing approximately 54 billion coupons annually. On the plant floor will be two Goss Sunday 4000 web offset presses, each with automatic transfer function. Up to 12 different products will be coming into the Muller Martini press delivery system, each running in a defined system run length of about 10,000. Muller Martini’s Floorveyor conveying system with high-speed waste gates and diverting technology will be configured to both presses. Muller Topveyor overhead conveyors with pick-up and delivery stations will then speed product into Muller PrintRoll P-220 twin winding stations. The entire operation will be totally digital, integrated with fully automated storage and retrieval technology from Daifuku America Corp., creating a virtual buffer system.
