As print runs become smaller and smaller, the Vareo is a much-needed solution to today’s evolving production demands. It has an excellent price-performance ratio and is the ideal machine for binderies and printers that need to improve the efficiency and versatility of their perfect binding operations. With speeds up to 1,350 cycles per hour and with extremely short set-up times, the Vareo produces a full range of products, such as photo books, personalized catalogs, high-quality brochures, etc., cost-effectively and with the very first book being sellable. In addition, Muller Martini’s Vareo is the first perfect binder where each of the three clamps is equipped with its own servo motor, so they function independently of one another. That means that each processing station can be individually adjusted to each product to ensure optimal quality and the highest productivity. For instance, books constructed of different materials can spend the appropriate amount of time in the nipping/pressing station without impacting overall production speeds. Other advantages of this perfect binder include:
In addition, like many machines in the Muller family, the Vareo features a modular design, allowing it to be easily extended and adapted to meet future production requirements, thereby providing a high degree of investment protection. Recently, visitors to Muller’s booth at Hunkeler Innovationdays had the unique opportunity to see the Vareo perform live for the first time. Their reaction was enthusiastic. Commented Gottfried Leuenberger, Head of Finishing at the printing and media company W. Gassmann AG in Switzerland, “Such solutions are needed because the runs are becoming ever smaller.
