Polestar boosts gravure facility

Within two days of the start of Ipex, the Polestar Group signed a deal with Ferag for a fifth post-press processing line for its gravure superplant in Sheffield.

The new line will be installed by mid-July and will include a four-station Ferag UniDrum, a trimming drum and a six-station inserting drum. It can handle A4 and tabloid-sized products and can saddle stitch, insert and apply glue cards at up to 30,000cph.

Polestar also ordered  Segbert stackers and palletisers and Affeldt shrinkwrappers, which will be supplied by WRH Marketing UK.
