Long Binding Line For Cadmus Cenveo

Cadmus Cenveo added a new PrimaPlus SB AMRYS (Automatic Make-Ready System) line from Muller Martini at its Easton, PA plant. The installation, with 24-plus feeders, marks the longest binding line installed by Muller Martini. The complete system features 22-plus flat pile feeders, a product feeder, card gluer, inside/outside inkjet, Robusto compensating stacker, film- and shrink-wrapping line, and short and long Streamfeeders for automatic signature feeding.

The selective binding line produces 400 wire-stiched and perfect-bound magazines every month. Average circulation of the magazines, of which 80% are personalized, is 25,000 copies.

Sixty percent of the publications produced at the Easton plant are addressed inline with an inkjet system, while 20% are not only addressed, but also have varying page content.

The printer also installed an AvantiPlus bundle stacker, Forte compensating stacker and 443 palletizing system at the plant. The bundle stacker features a horizontal design.

“After we commissioned our new Goss press, which prints 55,000 copies per hour, we needed a new bundle stacker and looked at systems from six different suppliers,” says plant manager Frank Donnelly.

Cadmus, acquired by Cenveo last year, prints scientific and technology magazines; its five U.S. facilities print 300 million pounds of paper daily.
