Value for money was the deciding factor in Peterborough based Europress’s decision to invest in a CCM Premier 78 guillotine from TCS.

Director Mick Horton explained, ‘It was time to upgrade our guillotine. We have had a strong working relationship with Terry Cooper Service so we had a look at the range they had.’

He continued, ‘The Premier is fantastic value for money and the quality is unquestionable. We know Terry Cooper Services well and trust its back up and support. That kind of relationship is important when you are making an investment.’

Among the features of the CCM Premier 78 is its heavy build that reduces vibration, improves machine life and cutting accuracy. It also offers deep clamp opening to accept more paper to reduce overall cutting time, optical shaft encoder on high speed backgauge for faster operation and accurate cutting, large side tables for easier paper handling, infrared slim line light barriers, improved centralised oiling wear free bearings and totally enclosed knife change with monitored single shear bolt protection, turnbuckle adjustment, for a fast, safe, easy knife change. Enhanced features include programmability and memory storage.

‘The increased automation means it is easier to operate than our older guillotine,’ said Mick. ‘It is quick to set up and run and that has made a real difference to our workflow. It was the next step for us and it has been a great buy.’
