Swedish Printing Company – Tryck i Norrbotten AB orders mailroom system from IDAB WAMAC
Friday 23. May 2008 - Tryck i Norrbotten AB in Luleå, Sweden is the most northern printing plant in Sweden, with a total circulation of approx 80 million copies a year. In order to modernise the printing plant Tryck i Norrbotten has invested in a new printing press and a new mailroom.
For the mailroom Tryck i Norrbotten AB has chosen IDAB WAMAC and signed a contract for supply of a new modern system including high speed inserter PST 400. The mailroom system consist of a gripper conveyor PCC 903, Three stacking/Packaging lines including on-line bundle addressing, Sorting and loading system and finally the mailroom control and information system WNC v5 for full control of the process from folder to loading bay.
A key issue for Tryck i Norrbotten is the inserting capacity which is minimum 40 000 cph.
To verify the capacity of the PST 400 inserting system the project team visited the IDAB WAMAC mailroom installation at Hubei Daily in Wuhan, China, where they saw four machines in operation. The project team were totally impressed with the output of the system and also the flexibility of the machines coping with thin and slippery supplements. In addition Tryck i Norrbotten has a complex bundle production with many small (key) bundles to handle which require stackers with short cycle time and a flexible mailroom control system in order to produce in an optimum way. IDAB WAMAC were able to satisfactorily demonstrate this capability with the TS800 stacker and WNCv5 control system.
“We look forward to the installation of our new mailroom system from IDAB WAMAC which will give us the latest in post press production with high performance and high productivity” , says Erik Ranängen, Managing Director of Tryck i Norrbotten.
“We are honoured to be the chosen supplier for this project” , says UC Edberg, Managing Director of IDAB WAMAC, ” We have the technology and the knowledge to totally fulfil the requirements from Tryck i Norrbotten AB.”
The new mailroom system will be in operation by the end of the year.
