MMMS sets new high-speed inserter

N&T Staff Report
 

HERSHEY, Pa. — Muller Martini Mailroom Systems Inc. said it will roll out to the U.S. market its ProLiner inserting system. The announcement was made at last month’s America East convention.

The modular system, capable of processing up to 45,000 copies per hour, had its international debut last June at the Newstech show in the United Kingdom.

It will be formally unveiled at this month’s Nexpo in Washington, D.C., according to Amrish Thaker, president and chief executive officer.

“Through our extensive knowledge of the newspaper production processes and the teamwork between our engineers we have developed a common strategic platform, which currently makes the ProLiner system solution available to the U.S. market,” he said in a statement.

The expandable ProLiner will complement MMMS’ existing AlphaLiner, NewsLiner and SLS inserting systems, which the vendor said it will continue to support.

In other AmEast announcements:

•Rock-Built Inline Finishing Systems Inc. introduced an automated trimmer system, the Uni-Trim 1650. It’s a four-knife, heavy-duty high-speed inline trimming system equipped with a touchscreen for easy operator control, the company said. The system stores settings for frequently run jobs and reduces makeready time.

•Polkadots Software unveiled Adflo, software engineered to simplify ad-preparation and inflighting processes. The app meshes with ad layout software to enable papers to RIP ads early in the production process, the firm said.
