Bruns GmbH orders announced at the IFRA 2011, a further WIFAG newspaper web press was ordered by APM Print d.o.o. APM Print d.o.o. in Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, is a specialized Ringier Axel Springer company which produces daily newspapers. Among other publications, it produces the daily newspapers BLIC with an average print run of 180,000*, ALO with an print run of 160,000*, and 24 sata with a daily average of 155,000* copies. With its decision to invest in a new newspaper web press, APM Print d.o.o. begins a comprehensive renovation of its entire newspaper production. The ordered printing press includes three WIFAG evolution 473/6 triple-width/double circumference satellite printing towers, three WIFAG M60 autopasters, and two 2:5:5 jaw folders. With a folder superstructure of three formers and the optional ribbon stitchers, up to 72 pages of broadsheet or 144 pages of tabloid can be combined in a variety of book structures. Thanks to WIFAG‘s Platform+ drive and press control system complemented by color register and no-mark cut- off register control as well as semi-automatic plate changers, the printing press is highly automated to ensure low start-up waste, consistent print quality and short change-over times. WIFAG‘s own control system permits future system expansion with offset or ink jet based printing units from WIFAG. The wide-ranging renovation of newspaper production at APM Print d.o.o. begins with the construction of a new press hall at its current location in Belgrade's Novi district. The new WIFAG evolution 473/6 will be delivered in the summer of 2012 and will be put into operation in the 4th quarter of 2012 along with the expanded mailroom.
