We no longer have the ‘have-the-job-but-can’t-get-it-done-in-time’ issue. Lead times are 30–50% less.

Featured Products

Modular, compact components designed to dramatically improve workflow.

The NewsReady™ solution includes the Unwinder u50i, Cutter TC 7000, Accumulator TC 1007 L and Folder with Exit Conveyor.

Finished newspapers are neat, well folded and accumulated on an exit conveyor to be collected by the operator or delivered to near-line or off-line inserters. The NewsReady cutter cartridges have a unique design which enables quick application changeover and easy on-site maintenance.

This modular system can be easily reconfigured with a Tecnau stacker and shingling conveyor – run newspapers at night with the Accumulator‑Folder, and swap modules the next morning for more conventional, non-folded cut/stack applications. Users are not tied to a single, inflexible solution.
