Thando turns the paper at Inprint

Inprint in Ashford needed a pile turner to reduce the amount of manual handling after they purchased a 6 colour Heidelberg pres. “We had to look seriously at the health and safety aspects for our press minders, who were lifting a huge number of B1 sheets during the double day shifts. Virtually all our paper needs to be turned to print on the reverse,” explained Peter Cook, Health and safety Manager. They chose the Thando 105P Auto, which incorporates a programmable aeration system, together with pause and inch controls. The air nozzles automatically separate the sheets and blow out debris and spray powder, while the jogger aligns the stack. “The Thando gives enormous labour saving. Encore estimate that it gives up to 30% increase in productivity. We know that if we are doing a 10,000 run, it can take 45 minutes to turn the paper by hand and only five minutes using the pile turner. That speaks for itself.”
