The St Helens-based company is preparing for an increase in capacity by installing a Perfecta Flowline HTVC 115 from UK distributor Graphic Arts Equipment. It also has plans to purchase a new press in 2009.
The JDF/CIP4 compatible Flowline features 400 programs and up to 8,000 cut marks with recorded comments. There is also a USB stick, hardwire functions and remote diagnostics interface.
Poplar's system is also equipped with a high-speed AutoCut guillotine, in-bed waste removal, stack lift, jogger, scale counter and uploaders.
Managing director David Bennett said: "We are looking to increase turnover by £1m, to £3m, in the next two or three years and to do that we are installing a new press in September next year.
"As part of the plan, it was essential the finishing department, particularly the guillotine, could cope with the increase in work. A guillotine is not a short-term piece of equipment so we wanted one with the highest specifications."
The company is also looking to gain ISO18001 later this year, to add to ISO9001.
PSP targets 1m growth with guillotine purchase
Poplar Services Printers (PSP) has kicked off a major investment spree with a new Perfecta guillotine, which it hopes will lead to a 1m increase in turnover.
