09.01.12 - MittMedia Print in Sundsvall (Sweden) has been in the commercial business since the spring of 2011. And Ferag technology is the key to efficient and profitable production. During the night, the technology is allocated to the production of local newspapers Sundsvalls Tidning and Dagbladet, with an MSD2-C inserting drum with MultiDisc and RollStream periphery in action in the postpress processing sector. During the day, production runs in heatset. In addition to supplements for its own newspapers, this involves special-interest magazines as well as advertising brochures.

With heatset production, the printing machine delivers 32-page tabloid products. After stitching in the folder, these can be trimmed online in the SNT-50 trimming drum and placed in intermediate storage for the inserting process or readied for dispatch. For higher paginations, the MSD2-C inserting drum comes to the fore with its multiple functions. Up to three centrally aligned product sections can be inserted, one inside the other, thanks to a second opening device. In conjunction with MultiDisc and RollStream, it is possible to produce magazines of up to 96 pages, wire stitched using StreamStitch and with a subsequent three-side trim in the SNT-50.

“We are making full use of all the options. Production with the system is stable at maximum output, and we can see that the speeds specified by Ferag at 45,000 copies per hour have also actually been achieved over the long term”, says a satisfied Managing Director Jan Andersson.
