BINDERY matters

Joe Sweeney, bindery manager at Publishers Press, says high net throughput along with simplified operation and makereadies were key factors in selecting the new shaftless saddlestitching technology for short- to medium-run publication applications.

The new Pacesetter system at Publishers Press will feature eight horizontal hoppers and be equipped for selective binding and ink-jet personalization. Goss International will also supply an FS-22 flying stitcher, HT-22 trimmer, mail table and BS60 stacker. The new Universalbinder system will be equipped with 30 RG324 hoppers to run at up to 13,500 books per hour. The installations will bring the total number of Goss finishing systems at Publishers Press to 13.
