Wilco

Wilco produces more than nine billion book pages per year. These are processed into almost 50 million books that are printed at Ten Brink Offset in Meppel, Koninklijke Wöhrmann in Zutphen and Wilco in Amersfoort. With this book volume, it is not just the graphical quality that needs to be perfect. The speed of the machines is just as important in a... chieving these figures. To be able to maintain the speed of the offset printing presses, Wilco invested in no fewer than four MBO K8RS combi folding machines at Wifac. The speed for processing 32-pagers is standardised at these firms. Wilco had been searching for folding machines able to achieve a very high gross speed of 14,000 sheets per hour. MBO provided the solution with its Monza folding systems. Wilco and Wifac installed a prototype of the world's first A10 log stacker delivery systems in Amersfoort. Following installation, Wilco, with support from Wifac and MBO, was able to start improving and fine-tuning the system. The prerequisite for the investment was that each of the machines could be operated by a single operator.Read More
