Muller sells first NewsStacks

Sentinel Colour Print in Stoke-on-Trent has signed up for the UKs first Muller Martini NewsStack stacking systems.

The newspaper printer, part of the Northcliffe Newspapers Group, has also ordered a NewsGrip conveyor and bundle transporting systems.

Muller Martini sales executive Ted Herbert said the firms latest stackers could run at 90,000 copies per hour, and that Sentinel had wanted kit that could keep up with its Goss Colorliner 80.

The Goss has the capacity to produce 192pp tabloids, with 128pp of those in colour, at up to 80,000 copies per hour.

Northcliffe technical director Mark Ellington was impressed with the engineering quality of the stackers.
