Ultragraphics in Lancaster, PA recently installed a new Rollem TR System
Ultragraphics, Lancaster, PA	When we talked to our customers about producing high-volume runs on a digital press, the concept was to feed press sheets in one end of a system and produce finished product on the other to achieve maximum efficiency. With the purchase of the Rollem TR Die-Score System, and by utilizing our existing folding equipment, that concept became reality. The TR has met and exceeded all production speed and quality requirements. We run our digital presses three shifts a day, but the Rollem TR can easily finish the work in less than one shift. One of the real surprises to us is that we are running more and more of our short-run work on our TR. As our employees get more comfortable with the equipment, the production speed, quality and ability to perform multiple processes in-line more than justifies the set-up time. Steven D. Husson, President Lancaster Ultra-Graphics, Inc

George Jackson, President of Ross Bindery, located in Santa Fe Springs, CA and Barry Kallman, V.P. Sales for Rollem International, discuss the merits of the new Rollem Continuous Feed TR Die-Scoring System.

"Our production has more than doubled and we are most pleased with Rollem's new entry into the finishing market. Scoring, perforating and slitting capabilities are expanded further with the addition of the new Continuous Feeder, enabling the uninterrupted feeding with no pile run out, ideal for large, high volume runs." George states, "because of the TR's versatility, we recently used it to slit and fold all in-line because our cutters were all tied up. It seems the more we use it, the more uses we find for it."

Ronnie and Paul Brown of Brown's Bindery (Columbia, SC) purchased the PB-15 automatic feeding, jogging, drilling and delivery system after seeing a trade show demonstration. They saw it at a Graph Expo last year and it blew them away!

"It's three times faster than our old drills, which weren't computerized. I can adjust this machine on the fly and the set-up time is incredibly fast", William Burritt, bindery supervisor states. Brown's specializes in perfect and mechanical binding as well as folding. "We do just about everything except die-cutting," explains Burritt. He adds that the bindery is probably in the midrange when it comes to drilling, "but when it rains it pours. We've seen everything from 10,000 books per week to 200,000." Burritt says the PB-15 is enabling the bindery to do work it couldn't previously handle such as a 28-hole book. "With this drill, it only took me a few minutes to set up the machine. With four heads, I hit it seven times and knocked out 1,000 books in 15 to 20 minutes. That probably would have taken more than an hour with the old drill. Overall, our drilling time has been cut in half with this new drill."
