Al Nisr Publishing has equipped the printing centre near Dubai with a fully automated disposal- and compacting plant. Hunkeler Systeme AG was entrusted with the mechanical and software-engineering. Print waste, off-cuts, rest rolls and roller sleeves, wood, aluminium printing plates as well as synthetic foils are separated and sorted and then compacted in seven stationary presses.
In a printing centre outside the city of Dubai Al Nisr Publishing produces newspapers and commercial printing jobs in coldset and heatset techniques. The production causes large quantities of diverse waste materials. Print wastes, off-cuts from cutting drums, rest tolls and roller sleeves from the printing machines, wooden pallets, aluminium printing plates and synthetic foils are separated and sorted according to type, and then compacted in a fully automated large plant disposal system. The Swiss engineering company, Hunkeler Systeme AG, planned, conceived and installed this large system.
