SECOND GENERATION OF QUIPP GRIPPER FOR US MARKET

Miami, FL, January 27, 2003 – Quipp Systems, Inc, a leading supplier of post-press equipment and systems to the newspaper industry, identifies recent installations of Quipp-Gripp II Conveyor System. With dozens of the original Quipp-Grip Series Conveyors in operation especially in Asia and in Latin America locations since 1987, the new Quipp-Gripp II include substantial modifications and improvements to meet the higher production rates and product sizes typical of US newspaper operations.

The Greenville (SC) News, The Raleigh Offset (NC) and The Daily Record in Wooster, OH are now in full operation with Quipp-Gripp II, as is Ultimas Noticias (Cadena Capriles) of Caracas, Venezuela.

Included in the Quipp-Gripp II improvements involve first the grippers – made of a composite material with nitrogen hardened alloy wear surfaces, each mounted on a fully articulating chain “link”, supported on three polyurethane wheels with SKF-style ground bearings. In addition, control is centered in a PC-driven full color touch screen, which incorporates a series of operator-friendly screens to facilitate quick setup and understandable monitoring of operation and maintenance requirements.

Flexible, accurate and extremely rugged, the Quipp-Gripp II is a cost-effective solution to the complex problems of moving product around today's newspaper mailroom. It excels at this critical task while setting new standards for control and accuracy.
