Pratham Technologies (Hall 6/D38)
At Drupa, Pratham has booked a 188-sqm stand. In insert-outserts, Pratham claims that it is at par with global leaders. But at Drupa, Pratham will be showing a robotic tray packaging machine. It will be a first-time innovation, and it could be the first in the world, claims the company. Pratham did not disclose the model name but said it is an end-of-the-line packaging system. Today, there is a human resource crunch in Europe and the USA. It’s become one of their main problems.
Pratham saw this as an opportunity to develop an automatic machine that could replace human intervention. Besides, the company will also launch the Superfold pile feeder PF 53, an automatic outserts and inserts folding machine. The outserts feeder machine is specially designed for handling think folding applications, while the insert is a high-speed feeder machine designed for handling Bible and coater paper.
