Winnipeg Free Press, Canada

14.01.2014 - Winnipeg Free Press in the Canadian province of Manitoba will be equipping their newspaper press with TTR conveyor systems. From December 2013, two TTR conveyor systems will be securing the transfer of the newspaper copies off a Goss Colorliner dating from 1991. Each conveyor system will enable production to be routed to a compensating stacker and storage system from another manufacturer.

With two TTR conveyors, Winnipeg Free Press is banking on conveyor technology from Ferag.

With the two Ferag TTR conveyors, Winnipeg Free Press will have at its disposal modern, dependable, high-performance technology for the secure transfer of newspaper products into the mailroom at production speeds of 75,000 copies an hour.

There are three basic features behind virtually fatigue-proof Ferag conveyor technology: the tough, steel channel guides; the construction of the chain with its unique linkage geometry; and the inverse closing and opening mechanism of the clamping units that have a relatively slow build-up of spring force during the closing sequence, plus zero-inertia product release (no time lag). One exceptional strength of the Ferag conveyor is the option to allocate one or two newspaper copies to each individual gripper and thus double conveyor output without increasing chain speed.
