Well known packaging and post press equipment brands including Bobst, Kolbus, Palamides, MBO and Herzog + Heymann, comprise just a few of the suppliers and manufacturers represented in both Australia and New Zealand that will be on the stand.
MAN Ferrostaal has also recently developed a significant consumables business, and will show its extensive range of consumable products covering prepress, press and post press with brands such as Kodak, Hostmann-Steinberg, Servicom Pacific, Tesa, Mosca, Bottcher, Hurst, Deatwyler and others.
Kodak Prinergy Workflow and Magnus 400 A2 CTP system will be demonstrated, with the company aiming to show printers the benefits of integrated production.
Also shown for the first time will be the new E-Shop on line ordering, demonstrating how easily printers can order consumables on line. The company says E-Shop will help to accommodate customers’ purchasing requirements, to assist in managing cash-flow and expenditure needs. In addition, printers will have direct access to MAN Ferrostaal partners for current product and service information
Ross Gilberthorpe, marketing manager for MAN Ferrostaal says, “It’s a new beginning for MAN Ferrostaal, we have an exciting new product portfolio, not just in terms of the range and depth of equipment options available but also with regard to our national service and support network including project development, project management, partner integration and system integration. We continue to pride ourselves on our unrivalled expertise in delivering highly productive solutions to our customers.”
Pre press equipment and workflow is key to MAN Ferrostaal, having the ability to bundle complete systems for our customers at affordable pricing representing leading brands such as Kodak, Luscher in CTP, Techkon colour densitometers, Glunz & Jensen processors and Epson colour proofing devices.
The MAN Ferrostaal stand will be headlined by the debut appearance of the Bobst Visionfoil 104 hot foil stamping presses which enables everything from relief embossing to hologram application.
It will be joined by the Bobst Evoline 102E Autoplaten Diecutter, demonstrating high quality and affordable diecutting. Gilberthorpe says the Bobst Evoline 102E flatbed die-cutter reflects the widest choice of diecutters, with proven qualities and ideally adapted to the type of production demanded by the folding carton market. The size of the presses, from the smallest (76 cm) to the largest (210 cm) represents the most complete offer in the market, in size as well as in degrees of automation.
Other manufacturers represented at MAN Ferrostaal are the efficient and cost-effective Swedish-built Lamina Systems range of laminators and in-line gluing machines, Drent Goebel web presses for the label, flexible packaging, commercial and security print markets, Marbach die-cutting tools, Rodicut rotary die cutters and Heiber & Schroder rotary window patching and lining machines which the company says offer economy and productivity in a range of folding box, window cut and other creative packaging applications. Gilberthorpe says, “In all these areas, our focus will be on providing options which will help our customers enjoy higher profit margins without sacrificing quality and innovation.”
MAN Ferrostaal will be represented in the bindery with the MBO T800 folding system demonstrating reverse delivery and patented removable slitter shaft cassette module, linked in line with the T800 will be the innovative Bograma BS 750S Plus, demonstrating specialised paper engineering.
The MBO T530 folder with Palamides automatic delivery system for the half-sheet size market is a ombination allowing you to efficiently form and cut in line with accuracy. All the laborious processes such as knocking up, adding upper and lower boards and manually bundling the packages are now in the hands of the Palamides.
Pre Press equipment and workflow will play a prominent part on the MAN Ferrostaal stand demonstrating the latest in Kodak Prinergy Workflow and Magnus 400 A2 CTP systems. Gilberthorpe says by optimising prepress printers will save time, money and improve the output of production. Colour management tools, using the latest in densitometry with Techkon will be demonstrating the ability to combine the qualities of a highly accurate spectrophotometer and an easy-to-use densitometer.
In addition a host of new solutions will be on display, Gilberthorpe says, “Every company is looking for efficiency gains in their workplace, MAN Ferrostaal is showing brands such as EHRET, Herzog + Heymann and ALBO pile turning systems that deliver these efficiences.
MAN Ferrostaal’s newest release of Smart Stackers, with a weight capacity up to 2.5 tonnes are all fitted with IR height sensors that automatically adjust the fork height as you load and unload. Added to this new innovation is Marchetti the new digital finishing equipment line that will allow effective solution increasing, laminating, drilling, stapling and automated deliveries for small volume and small format applications.
