CINCINNATI ENQUIRER ORDERS WASTE HANDLING SYSTEM FROM QUIPP

Miami, FL, October 23, 2002 – Quipp announced today an order for a Waste Handling System at the Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer, a Gannett facility.

Quipp will install an Overhead Waste Belt Conveyor System that will transport start-up newspaper waste as it is dropped from any of the four existing press gripper conveyors or any of the four existing Quipp Twin-Trak press belt conveyors. The waste (or start-up spoils) will travel through belt conveyors and into containers, which will each handle up to 20 tons of newsprint. The full container will then be taken to a recycling facility by an independent contractor, where the spoils will be emptied, the container returned, and the process is then repeated.

Also included in this turnkey waste system from Quipp will be: a PLC based Controls Package and Monitoring System, a Hydraulic Cart Lift Dumper, and local waste dump controls located in the press room.

The Cincinnati Enquirer production facility already houses a vast array of Quipp equipment, including several 300, 350, and 400 Series Stackers, Viper Bottom Wrappers, a complete Bundle Distribution Tracking System made up of rollerslat and mattetop conveyors, and five (5) Automated Cart Loaders. The Enquirer has been a satisfied Quipp customer since 1985.
