Jwalamukhi has been using Heidelberg solutions for all its operations - from pre-press to post- press to consumables.
The newest addition in this segment is the Heidelberg Eurobind 600 Perfect Binder with gate fold wrapper feeding attachment.
C S Shivakumar, CEO, Jwalamukhi Mudranalaya, said, “We are grateful to Heidelberg for the unstinted support they have given us for over 20 years! Because of their support we have been able to develop our press that can be an eye-opener to fellow press owners.”
The Eurobind uses a unique mechanism to apply a very thin film of glue for the spine of a book, and this saves us 10% of hotmelt glue we use for each book.
“The Eurobind has increased our book production by 25% in terms of speed. Single-clamp binding machines available in the market give 300 copies in an hour, but produce fewer copies. With the Eurobind 600, I am sure of getting at least 500 copies in an hour. Thus, I can commit the time of delivery to my customer,” adds Shivakumar.
He further adds, “It has also reduced our dependency on manpower. We used to have three people to manage the old binder but with the Eurobind we don’t need any special operator or as many people”
Jwalamukhis’ pre-press section has a Suprasetter A105 with G&J processor enabled with Prinect software, as well as a flatbed scanner. In the press division, it has one MOV CPC Cptronics and an Alcolor Heidelberg four-colour press.
Other than this, Jwalamukhi also has one SORD AO size, single-colour press with Alcolor dampening. In the post-press section, Jwalamukhi has been using the Stahl folder 4KTL 28x40 format and two Polar paper cutting machines are also part of this section of the press.
With, Drupa 2012, Jwalamukhi Mudranalaya, is making space for more Heidelberg products which they intend to purchase at the event. Jwalamukhi intends to purchase the Heidelberg SX 74 press with a coater. This purchase will again make them the number one in India to install this product.
