AVOS GmbH: Automation up, flexibility up

To make highly automated and efficient inserting a reality, Bielefeld-based AVOS GmbH has replaced approximately 50 percent of its inserting systems with two EasySert lines.

As a provider of special processing and packaging services, the family-owned company's focus is on inserting up to 35 Million supplements per week. Because they can differ in both format and volume, the used inserting technology must offer a great deal of flexibility. Since the foundation of the company - inserting has been carried out using technology from a supplier who - in terms of automation, productivity, flexibility and production security, was unable to keep pace with the latest innovations in inserting technology. With two EasySert inserting lines, both up and running with a UTR conveyor system and a Segbert compensating stacker, those conditions can be met. Additionally, each is equipped with a FlyStream precollecting system and ergonomic JetFeeder hopper. And daily, up to two million inserts can be achieved. While the options for vacuum- and air-opening allow even more flexibility, Ferag's Intelligent Repair Controller (IRC) enables the company to reduce personnel costs and increase security.
