Headley invests in AMRYS saddle stitcher

Headley Brothers has announced its investment in a Muller Martini BravoPlus AMRYS saddle stitcher, the world's first fully automatic machine in its performance class.

Key features include a compensating stacker for perfect stack formation, even in three-up production; a three-knife trimmer; stitching unit for standard, eyelet or child-safe stitching; and a cover/card folder feeder.

The AMRYS (which stands for: Automatic Make-Ready System) is equipped with a touch-screen display, allowing the operator to customise and alter job formats with speed and ease.

The benefits of automated size settings on feeders, the stitching unit, three-knife trimmer and compensating stacker, ensure make-ready times are minimised.

Other benefits include a data-management system, allowing the transfer of jobs from one machine to another.

The efficient automation significantly increases productivity and efficiency, illustrated by the machine's production speed of up to 12,000 cycles per hour, making it ideal for processing products with runs in the 2,000 - 300,000 range.

The BravoPlus Amrys complements Headley Brothers' existing finishing and fulfilment offerings, which include four other stitchers and three perfect binding lines.

Roger Pitt, managing director, said: "We have invested in equipment renowned for producing consistently high-quality results, further enhancing our ability to offer our customers with a fast, efficient and flexible finishing and fulfilment service".
