Baumann Druck in Kulmbach, Germany was looking for innovative web offset technology and selected RIMA-SYSTEM as its provider for reliable post press solutions.

The long-established print plant with about 140 employees has an annual paper usage of about 32.000 tons and focuses strongly on commercials, flyers, catalogs and newspapers in high circulation.

End of April 2008, CEO Monika Uhlemann and CEO Jörg Schild-Müller decided to equip their post press system behind the new Lithoman 40-pages web press with innovative and highly automated machines from RIMA-SYSTEM. In addition to floor and overhead conveyors and an automatic waste ejection system, the installation consists of one RS 840 double stream trimming line and two RS 32 high-speed stackers with direct-coupled RS 110 blocking units and strapping machines. An RS 400 palletizer with its double A4 gripper places the finished stacks of both stacking lines either onto one or onto two pallets. The palletizing robot is also equipped with the latest remote maintenance software to ensure fast and efficient monitoring by off-site RIMA-SYSTEM technicians.

For Baumann Druck the decision to choose RIMA-SYSTEM was an easy one, thanks to the very positive experience of a prior installation. In early 2007 a post press line behind a Zirkon 8-pages web press consisting of one RS 810 and one RS 820 rotary trimmer as well as two RS 32 high-speed stackers was successfully put into operation.
