Strapping Performance At News Show
Mosca, supplier of strapping systems to the newspaper industry, is demonstrating the speed and reliability of its technology at Newstec 2005.
Therefore, when Irish Times experienced performance and back-up issues with its existing machines, the company decided to update its strapping machines to keep pace with the new lines.
Joe Chuchla, the mailroom manager at Irish Times, said: "We researched the market and found that Mosca's RO-TAI-5 is the most technologically advanced specialist newspaper strapper on the market." The company also visited existing Mosca customers D.C.
Thomson in Dundee and Scottish Daily Record in Glasgow to see the RO-TAI-5 in operation.
The RO-TAI-5 is Mosca's strapping system for the newspaper industry and it is claimed to be capable of speeds of up to 36 bundles per minute.
It incorporates Mosca's airless, all-electric technology, which is said to eliminate the need for costly compressed air and its related maintenance requirements.
The airless system is an extension of Mosca's brushless motors, direct drive technology, which has already removed the need for a large number of mechanical components to ensure long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
Mosca installed three RO-TAI-5 models in October 2005.
Joe Chuchla explained: "After a year, the machines are performing well and the operators are extremely happy with how easy and convenient they are to use.".
