Stockport-based Deanprint is installing a new Aster PRO52 sewing machine supplied by Kolbus UK replacing two older machines while being faster, more efficient and with a greater size range.
Product quality is enhanced with a computer controlled active thread cutting system ensuring no tearing of the signature spine. The 520 mm long saddle will enable the company to produce a diverse range of products from multiple up books to A3 portrait sketch pads. Operating at up to 200 cycles/minute and with faster make-ready overall production levels are increased whilst maintaining high product quality.
Production director, Kevin Lee, said, ‘The new Aster will handle our current product range more efficiently and also open up opportunities for new products. With this sewer we have over 100 pieces of finishing equipment here so can pretty much handle any finishing requirements.’
