New Products And Glimpse Of Future From Goss
Goss International announced that it will have a major presence at Drupa 2004 in May and will present future concepts to drive print.
Shipment of the four eight-station Goss Pacesetter saddlestitchers will include each finishing system supporting one of the new presses.
Each pair of 32-page Sunday presses will be duplexed, allowing Plural Editora e Grafica to produce a range of signatures with up to 64 pages.
All four systems will be equipped with Goss's Contiweb FD pasters, Ecocool dryers and PCF-3 pinless combination folders, as well as the Goss Web Center automated workflow system.
According to Goss, the claimed 22,000-books-per-hour finishing systems will be the first in Latin America of the latest shaftless Pacesetter models with servo drives.
Each will be equipped with automatic hopper loaders and extensions, a Goss HT22 trimmer and a counter stacker.
Plural Editora e Grafica said it will more than double the size of its facility to 33,000 square meters to accommodate the new Goss presses and finishing systems.
The company produces a variety of publications, catalogues, retail inserts and other commercial products.
Current systems include six Goss M-1000 presses in two-web configurations, a 48-page Sunday 4000 press and Pacesetter 855 saddlestichers.

And Peter Ens of Plural Editora e Grafica added: "The wider Goss 2 x 8 Sunday press format presents significant advantages.
Each single-web press will be more productive and easier to operate than our older two-web press systems." Goss International's chief executive officer, Bob Brown, said: "This is an exciting expansion project that will showcase our innovative technology, our unique ability to supply press and finishing components and our commitment to working with our customers to develop highly advanced print production capabilities.".
