Zumbiel Adds (CONT’D FROM PAGE 8)
Ed Zumbiel, CEO, expressed his satisfaction with the new digital production capability and the performance of the Martin Automatic unwind system. “This new HP line boosts our digital capabilities and does so at a price point comparable to sheet-fed litho,” he said. “The Martin Au-
features our latest diagnostic system and operator pro- ductivity packages that inform the operators proactively if they miss one of the few steps during splice preparation.” Mick Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Operations, Zumbiel, praised the seamless integration of Martin’s tech- nology. “The system fits perfectly into our digital produc- tion line,” he said. “It’s so reliable that I rarely think about it during day-to-day operations. It’s intuitive to learn and operate, and the support we receive from Martin is out- standing.” This ongoing and long-term support was echoed by Hoffman, who added, “Our commitment to Zumbiel goes back many decades – they have Martin technology in ev- eryday operation that has been repurposed to more than one press over the years. It’s a great example of how we anticipate changing needs and deliver machines that are future-proof.” Typical production orders on the digital press range between 50,000 and 100,000 impressions, with various copies produced. On a typical eight-hour shift, the HP line requires six to eight roll changes. Manually changing rolls would take at least five minutes per change, so the Mar- tin Automatic system effectively adds 25 to 30 minutes of productive time per shift, while also improving ergonomics by eliminating the need for operators to manually manip- ulate the rolls.
tomatic unwind system is a perfect fit for our digital op- erations. It enhances our production efficiency, reduces downtime, and supports the high standards of quality and service that define Zumbiel.” Zumbiel Packaging’s new HP PageWide press line is fitted with Martin Automatic technology for non-stop operation. It adds 25 to 30 minutes of productive time per shift, while also im- proving ergonomics.
