New mark of excellence in production of wire comb and spiral products.

Wednesday 16. May 2012 - bielomatik will present the new generation of its wire comb and spiral binding line P 35-49 PLUS on drupa. With significantly reduced changeover times and 33 % higher capacity, the line sets new benchmarks in productivity.

Core unit of the machine is the 5-up punching and cutting unit which was completely redesigned. It is now equipped with a newly engineered cartridge system allowing
to adjust the new format outside the machine. These pre-set units can then be exchanged easily in case of size changes. Together with a general redesign of numerous other working units, the changeover times of this line have now been reduced by up to 40 %. The new punching and cutting unit can also be retrofitted
for existing machines.
On drupa, the machine will be demonstrated with wire comb binding. The PLUS version of this well-proven product line can optionally also be equipped with a spiral binding unit, even later on. On A4 size, the line reaches now 50 % higher capacity: again a new benchmark with an output of 90 products per minute.
Dirk Voessing, Managing Director of bielomatik and responsible for the paper division: “Almost all major manufacturers of spiral and wire comb products around the globe rely on high-speed lines from bielomatik. Even highly automated producers in the industrialized countries of Europe or North America are facing a loss in efficiency
of up to 40 %. At the same time, the production batches are getting smaller as the products are becoming more versatile and individual. With the PLUS version of our
P 35-49, the manufacturers will be well equipped to meet the market requirements
of the future in regard of flexibility and efficiency.”
The machine can be seen on drupa three times daily live in production.
