Fast and reliable strapping machines
June 1st 2006

Irish News, Northern Ireland's fastest growing regional newspaper, is using specialist strapping equipment from Mosca as part of its investment in a state-of-theart mailroom.

Based in Belfast, the new facility also produces a number of regional titles.

The company required fast and reliable strappers to complement the efficiency of the production line and, with past experience of Mosca, production manager Dave Wilson recognised it would make the ideal partner.

The Mosca installation comprises two RO-TAI-5 machines fully integrated into Irish News' production lines, and one ROMP-4, Mosca's high-speed standalone automatic strapping machine.

The RO-TAI-5 is Mosca's specialist machine for the newspaper industry, delivering a stable, 'hot off the press' presentation at up to 35 bundles per minute. It incorporates Mosca's airless, all-electric technology, which eliminates the need for costly compressed air and its related maintenance requirements.

The airless system is an extension of Mosca's direct drive technology, which has already eliminated the use of gearboxes, clutches, pulleys and chains for long-term reliability and improved performance.
