Südostschweiz Partner AG, Switzerland

12.11.2013 - Under Südostschweiz Partner AG, five publishers from the Rheintal, Principality of Liechtenstein, Grisons, Sarganserland and Glarus regions, and also Werdenberg and Obertoggenburg operate a joint printing centre in Haag in the St. Galler Rheintal. In the last seven years, Ferag technology has been in operation with some components being more than 30 years old. The time had come to change to new technology. In seven conversion phases, it was replaced by two Ferag inserting lines equipped with FlyStream and the latest MultiDisc periphery.

The new RollSertDrum-M has a third infeed for one preprint in addition to the connections for the main product and the FlyStream precollecting line.

In the postpress processing system the new RollSertDrum-M will be up and running for the first time. Compared with its smaller sisters, the inserting drum is equipped with a third feed for a preprint in addition to the connections for the main product and the FlyStream precollecting line. As a further new component, a transfer circulator links two independent UTR conveyors and enables the product stream to be assigned to two different processing steps during the conveying process. In the Haag printing centre, the transfer circulator is integrated into the line downstream from each inserting drum. Accordingly, it is possible to take either newspapers without inserts or finished products after they have passed through the RollSertDrum, and transport them directly to the winding process or bundling. In the specifications, such flexibility had equal ranking with the option to run inserting production in online and offline mode.
