Friary Stahl kit UKs first with faster unit link

Friary Press has taken delivery of the UKs first two Stahl folders to feature a shorter, faster link between the second and third fold units.

The firm ordered its two KH82KLs, one with pallet and one with continuous feeding, at Heidelberg's Tamworth open house event earlier this month.

The Dorchester-based firm, which specialises in academic journals, magazines, brochures and books, has been buying Stahl folders since 1979.

"We have chosen Stahl again after also looking at MBO," said operations director Brian Gerrett. "But we liked the speed of turnaround, the makeready and output we can achieve on these folders."
