HUGO BECK PRESENTS INNOVATIVE PRINT FINISHING SOLUTIONS AT GRAFITALIA

Monday 02. March 2009 - Today, product samples, CDs, folders and lottery postcards are a natural part of catalogues, magazines and newspapers. However, these just look noble if inserts are attached neatly, well protected and perfectly presented. Hugo Beck has the technology for this kind of finishing.

Hugo Beck will be showing its most recent development, the film packaging machine neo X. It can process up to 15,000 magazines per hour and insert advertising supplements. On the push of a button the machine can be changed over to a new product. Apart from the precision, the speed and the flexibility of the plant are remarkable – time-consuming re-fitting or long downtimes are not necessary.
The new machine generation neo X has been developed from market needs and is thus based on intensive customer surveys. The result was: better ergonomics, simpler maintenance and adjustment possibilities with the machine running. The neo X fulfils these requirements with a slimmer machine corpus, which improves access to all moving parts, and a tilting machine hood. In addition, side welding has been automated in order to enable fine adjustments during operation of the machine. Maintenance and service of the machine are fast and simple thanks to a tilting waste winding system, tilting switchgear cabinet. Apart from this, the controls of the neo X are decentralized, which allows machine operators to accomplish safe slow running, also with the hood opened.

Hugo Beck is a medium-sized company, based in Dettingen, South Germany and one of the leading manufacturers worldwide of print processing and film packaging machines.
