According to the manufacturer, the Proliner boasts several unique features including four-gripper pockets and a quality control system that ensures no papers are let through without the insert included.

The Proliner can run at up to 50,000 copies per hour and handle up to 30 inserts. It can manage everything from thick tabloids through to bulky broadsheets.

According to Martin Harrison, product manager of press delivery systems, further inserting units are retrofittable to the line should customers wish to expand.

He explained: “One of the disadvantages of our old machine was that unless you built the right length straight away, it was expensive to expand. This machine does not suffer from the same problem.”

The line is configured so that newspapers are held in the upright position so there is no chance of leaflets falling out. It is available with or without a buffering system and also comes with several different feeding options.

The Proliner comes with Muller Martini’s Missed Insert Repair System (MIRS) as standard.

Harrison said: “Only checked products leave the Proliner. If what the user specifies should be inserted in the newspaper is not in there, it can be sent back round again and refilled. It is also possible to specify different quality controls if one insert is more important than another.”

Muller Martini will be highlighting the Proliner at the Brighton show between June 11 and 12.
