Polaris Trykk Harstad AS in Norway selects Key Bundle System from Schur Packaging Systems

Monday 07. December 2009 - Polaris Trykk Harstad AS is part of Polaris Trykk AS, the second largest printing group in Norway with a turnover of NOK 500 million. The company is located in the northern part of Norway printing among other titles Harstad Tidende a daily regional newspaper. Polaris Trykk Harstad AS produces and distributes newspapers to readers widely spread over the region therefore handling of key bundles are an important part of the process in order to keep down the handling cost.

In order to increase flexibility and productivity Polaris Trykk Harstad AS has decided to purchase a mailroom system from Schur Packaging Systems including integration to existing Ferag inserter and Müller Martini stacker. The Schur mailroom system consists of one folder gripper conveyor PCC 903, single copy addressing and two high capacity stack/packaging lines including high speed stacker TS 800, on-line bundle addressing and a sorting and loading system.
Key bundles down to one single copy can be produced automatically at full press speed thanks to the short cycle time of the TS800 stacker. The complete mailroom process is controlled by Nova Mailroom Control and Information System which provide powerful tools to operate the mailroom in an optimum way including dynamic production allocation. Nova is designed for a flexible production environment preparing and producing manifests ranging from bulk production of standard bundles to single copy addressed key bundle productions at the same time.
” We look forward to co-operating with Schur who has long experience of supplying mailroom system to customer in the Nordic countries with similar production and distribution conditions as us” says Åsmund Killdal, Plant Manager, Polaris Trykk Harstad AS.
