Application samples in print finishing: Insertion and Packaging Systems

Print finishing of newspapers and magazines

FERAG AG develops and produces systems for the further processing of newspapers and magazines after printing.

folder with feeds for the adhesion of free samples, gimmicks, cards or self-adhesive memo sticks
conveyors to take the copies from the printing machine to the insertion drums
insertion systems for the online insertion of regional and national supplements or pre-manufactured products (bundle)
insertion and cutting drum, for example for tabloid supplements
packaging systems with subsequent inline cover sheet manufacture and tandem hoop-casing machine with rotating table for parallel or crossed hoop-casing
packaging system for the production of odd counts according to the route list

The high production speeds of the printing machines demand equally fast machines for further processing, e.g. a feeder for 45,000 copies per hour. The MACS3 and MACS4-DSP are ideally suited to fulfill these requirements: small and compact, the MACS3 synchronizes the FERAG AG feeder and insertion systems in the CAN network.
