Friedheim announces first Buhrs launch since taking distributorship

Finishing equipment supplier Friedheim has announced the first new Buhrs product since it took over the UK and Ireland distributorship for the manufacturer in January.

A new polywrapping line, the 1000 Solo Buhrs has been launched to provide a "cost-effective and flexible" way for small and medium sized printers to add polywrapping.

The machine runs at 10,000 products per hour and features automatic adjustments and settings for the wrapping module to cut makeready times.

It has memory recall, which can recall a job and set up the machine in a couple of minutes.

The gathering section can also be changed depending on the work that is being put through the machine.

Friedheim was appointed as Buhrs UK and Ireland distributor earlier this year, after the Dutch company went into administration in June 2010 forcing the closure of its UK arm.
