RNB took on a Hunkeler Unwinder UW6, Spedo 8500 E Stacker with tray (second user) and Spedo 2600 Pinless Cutter 2600 in an effort to enhance the flexibility of its production.
The three machines have been in place a number of months now, with RNB’s project and account manager Dave Martin explaining that the triple purchase has improved the finishing process at RNB and helped free up staff to take on other work.
“The devices have allowed us the flexibility to produce more with less down time, while they have also helped to streamline our paper-to-envelope time,” Martin says, adding: “The investment has also reduced the number of touch points in finishing, freeing up staff in the process.
“The result of this was an immediate increase in productivity, which is what we expected when placing the order. Simply put, it has allowed more flexibility without breaking down kit.”
Martin adds that RNB opted for Hunkeler and Spedo technology due to the reputation of the two brands, both in house at RNB and the wider industry, saying there was a great deal of confidence when making the purchase from Friedheim.
“We’ve already felt the benefit of the triple investment, and when looking forward, we can expect ongoing flexibility, with the advantage to expand further,” Martin says.
