Reducing Alcohol Consumption With Technical Advice
Award winning printer TJ International has announced that it has been able to reduce alcohol consumption from 10.5 per cent down to three per cent following a year long project.
The Coventry Bookbinders machine will be equipped with 16 feeders, and the build will incorporate a 90 degree turn in the binding line - a space saving feature that allows the system to be installed in to a smaller space, said MAN Roland.
The machine incorporates a three-knife trimmer and compensating stacker.
Commenting on the order, Karl Henly, managing director of Coventry Bookbinders, said: "We have been considering a move in to perfect binding for some time.

MAN Roland and Technotrans On Big U.S. Order
MAN Roland has chosen Technotrans to equip the six Geoman web offset presses ordered by Detroit Newspapers, with a total of 300 microspray spray dampening units.
The level of enquiries that we have been receiving recently really forced us to take action, so we set out to review products from the three leading suppliers - Kolbus, Muller Martini and Wohlenberg.
We were very impressed by the Wohlenberg City e product, and also by the support and enthusiasm of the MAN Roland team." He added that once installed, the system will be on-line to Wohlenberg in Germany, which means that immediate assistance can be provided should the company encounter any difficulties.
That also means that the company can download software upgrades directly in to the on-board computer of the system.
Henly continued: "The Wohlenberg Navigator SE computer control system provides an excellent graphical user interface.
It controls all motor-driven adjustments within the binder, and means that we can keep re-setting times down to a minimum.
We can even enter new job information in to the computer, whilst the current job is still being produced.
The system also provides for signature recognition, which means that we can immediately detect a problem if the wrong signature has got into the wrong feeder." Spine preparation on the City e is handled by a 6.2 kW milling motor and frequency controlled notching or multiple knife head.
The addition of the Wohlenberg City e at four-year-old Coventry Bookbinders further extends the capabilities of the company.
Currently it provides saddle-stitching, guillotining, drilling, folding, shrink-wrapping, and hand work services to printers throughout the Midlands and further afield.
