MultiDisc MTD: The Newspaper Storage System That Buffers Without Slowing You Down
MultiDisc MTD is Ferag’s newspaper storage system, built around a mobile disc carrier that stores preprints, supplements and main products gently and without damage. Because the system is format-independent, you never need to readjust it when product lengths change — it simply adapts. As a result, changeovers that would slow other storage systems down have no effect on MultiDisc MTD.
In practice, this disc storage system pairs winding and unwinding stations with a dedicated disc buffer. That lets you accumulate large volumes of preprints and supplements ahead of your main production window, then feed them back automatically and precisely into your inserting process exactly when you need them. For high-volume newspaper and magazine production, this kind of buffering is often what keeps inserting lines running at full, uninterrupted speed. Beyond intralogistics use within your own site, the mobile disc carrier is also built for interconnection with external users — useful if you buffer or exchange volumes across sites or partners.

Where MultiDisc MTD Fits in Your Line
MultiDisc MTD sits upstream of your inserting process. By buffering preprints and supplements on its mobile disc carrier ahead of time, it lets systems like EasySert ESR or Multisert MSD run continuously at full speed, even when supply volumes vary throughout the day. It’s the reason inserting lines don’t have to wait on the press.
