Friedheim confirms final Ipex line-up

Finishing equipment supplier Friedheim has announced its full line-up for next week's Ipex show in Birmingham.

Ipex 2010 will be the first UK exhibition to showcase the Hemel Hempstead-based supplier's latest offerings.

This will include Wohlenberg perfect binders, Baumann paper- and materials-handling machines, and Tecnograf binders and casing-in machines.

MBO will have several machines on the stand: the T960 Perfection; the K765 Efficiency Automatic; the T765 Efficiency Automatic; and the T535 Perfection.

The T960 Perfection folder is specifically designed for high-speed signature folding. Sheets are fed in landscape format, reducing the sheet length and improving performance.

Friedheim managing director Peter Morris said: "I think there is going to be a lot of interest in finishing at Ipex and I would say that anyone wanting to look at finishing equipment should definitely visit the Friedheim stand.

"I do not think numbers will be up, but there will be a much bigger turn-out than some were predicting a few months ago. I also believe that companies will come to buy – maybe not full-blown multicolour printing presses, but in post-press and digital finishing, orders will be placed at the show."

Hunkeler will showcase three world firsts from the stand: the Double Plow Folder PF7, the DP6 perforation and stamping machine and the PP6 perforating and punching module.

In addition, Herzog and Heymann will launch its mailing line for label applications, while Beck, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary, will unveil its Serienpacker film packaging machine with four-sided product sealing. 

The Tecnau 3 up split and merge system from 30 " wide rolls straight into the inserter lines, Ehret 30 " wide roll to cut sheet and Bograma sheet to sheet die cutting system will also be launched at the show.
