Stuart Murphy, Managing Director said “This is an exciting time for Rollem as we are working on new products and applications to take Rollem into the next generation of print finishing equipment.”
Rollem have invested in two Makerbot 3D printers, the company has been using 3D printing technology for some time but the new printers have increased capacity and the range of uses.
The Makerbot Replicator+ and Makerbot Replicator Z18 are already making components for Rollem’s print finishing systems a number of which were previously made from metal and sourced externally.
Stuart Murphy, Managing Director said “3D printing of components in house will mean we reduce the costs and time of developing and manufacturing parts for trial as part of our research and development programmes.”
Rollem have supplied a bespoke version of the JetStream system to Bradford based printer Collisons who are using the system to slit and cut SRA3 sheets into personalised greetings cards.
Following the initial install in October the Rollem JetStream is already showing benefits in increased production with a highly accurate and quality finish. The new quick change cassette system has enabled Collisons to make the change in the size of greeting cards being produced much faster and reduced their downtime.
The bespoke JetStream system supplied with suction feeder enables Collisons to produce approximately 3,000 sheets per hour, finishing in two directions to enable the slit and cut.
Stuart Murphy, Managing Director of Rollem said “This system is our first system to feature the quick change cassette system on the heads of the machine. The new feature was developed in conjunction with a number of our customers who have highlighted the need to reduce the time taken in changing set up in sizes of different applications.”
General Manager of Collisons, Mike Lammas said “The machine has allowed the process to become fully automated with a Planet Press Work flow and Xerox digital presses. We also have the option to run the Rollem machine in-line with our Xerox iGen in the future.”

Rollem have supplied a bespoke version of the JetStream system to a European based printers who are using the system to cut B2 sheets and then auto collate the personalised playing cards into sets.The JetStream was installed in 2015 and now the latest Rollem machine, the Rollem AutoPunch is being added inline.
The Rollem AutoPunch was launched at Drupa this year, it can be configured to die punch paper, card and plastic up to A5 sheet size with stock weights up to 700gsm. It integrates with Rollem finishing machines upstream and wrapping and boxing options downstream. Dies are available in a range of sizes and a re-sharpening service is offered on request.
The installation of the Rollem AutoPunch will enable the company to save time and labour costs compared with the previous hand loading into a RAM punch. The AutoPunch has also been integrated into an existing wrapping machine to provide one complete inline print finishing operation.
Stuart Murphy, Managing Director of Rollem said “as long term producers of equipment for playing card manufacturers we are pleased to be able to work with the company to tailor this system to meet their needs which will enable them to increase production with a highly accurate and quality finish. We see continuing development of our equipment and technology as a key part of our business and the Rollem AutoPunch expands our range to offer a complete finishing system.”
