PRESS RELEASE

Tecnau introduces a new high-speed book-block production system

Ivrea, Italy: to meet customers’ demands for even more variable and productive solutions, Tecnau announces the availability of the new High-Speed TC7800 Book-Block Production System, mainly targeted as a roll-input channel for the well-known Libra 800 book finishing solution. The system increases web speed and reduces book-block assembly cycle time, resulting in a throughput improvement for book binding by up to 30%.

Configured with a high-speed unwinder, slit-merge and dual web cutter, the system can produce books-of-one variable in height, width and thickness at speeds up to 180 m/min. The system is based on the well-established Cutter TC7800 series and includes a new tight web merging module, which ensures stable paper handling at high speeds for a broad paper weight range, from lightweight to heavy stocks.

The new High-Speed TC7800 Book-Block Production System supports web widths up to 25.2-inch (640mm), enabling the widest array of applications for book-of-one productions, including A4 landscape size, to maximize the size range of the Libra 800 VB Variable Binder and Libra 800 VT Variable Three-Knife Trimmer.

The system can also produce book-blocks to feed third party binders, with fully automated non-stop book-by-book delivery, or be used as a standalone production line for short runs.

As for all new Tecnau lines, the new High-Speed TC7800 Book-Block Production System offers a wide level of integration and customization, with a centralized workflow control system and remote diagnostics for quick service support.

Tecnau innovative solutions for the publishing segment include book-block and finished book production, both from roll and cut sheet, targeted to short runs and book-of-one. Tecnau leads the way towards lean book manufacturing, from order entry to delivery, helping to dramatically reduce inventory, minimize paper waste and simplify internal and external logistics.
