Prior to the Tornado Autopunch EX, Bright and his team would move large finishing job components to their conference room, and have at least two operators working on the job until completion. The finishing process required a series of manual steps by trained operators. All of the index tabs were hand-collated into each booklet, as well as front and back covers. The documents were then hand-punched on a desktop punch, separated into books, and bound. The conference room was unavailable for business meetings until the job was complete.

Now, with the auto-collation and punching features on the Tornado Autopunch EX, every step is automated, reducing job turnaround time by an average of 50%. The jobs no longer need to be collated in a conference room, freeing up space for other business meetings. The compact design of the EX fits within their existing space, can be wheeled to different areas, and requires no special power outlet.

“We have paid for our EX within one year. With more bindery work I would definitely purchase a second machine,” says Bright. “We were running 30 hours of overtime per week attempting to keep up with our bindery. Since installing the Rhin-O-Tuff Tornado, we have eliminated all overtime.”
