Semi-automatic spiral binding machine Rilecart WB-500
Rilecart WB-500 is a versatile and highly efficient wire-back binding machine designed for digital printers, small binderies and as a flexible supplement for large printing plants. This innovative machine combines the advantages of automation with simplicity of operation, drastically speeding up the binding process. The machine automatically unwinds the wire from the spool, cuts it to the desired length and feeds it to the binding area. The operator only needs to place the punched block on the prepared spine and press the foot pedal. Thanks to its Italian manufacturing, the WB-500 guarantees the highest robustness, reliability and precision, becoming a key component in the production of calendars, notebooks and training materials.
Key features and benefits
⚙️ Instant changeover without changing tools
The biggest advantage of the WB-500 is that there is no need to change closing tools when changing the back diameter. All settings, such as pitch, diameter, number of meshes and length, are entered from the intuitive touchscreen. The closing press adjusts fully automatically, reducing changeover time to an absolute minimum.
🇮🇹 Italian quality - solidity and reliability
The machine is entirely manufactured in Italy, which guarantees the highest quality workmanship, robustness of construction (weight of 400 kg) and reliability in daily intensive operation. Rilecart is the world leader in wire binding technology, which translates into long life and precision of the machine.
🚀 High efficiency and economy of operation
Thanks to the semi-automatic process and the use of economical wire from the spool, the machine achieves speeds of up to 1100 cycles per hour (Real speed depends on operator efficiency). It's a much more efficient alternative to handheld equipment, allowing quick completion of medium-sized print runs at a low unit binding cost.
📅 Ideal for calendar production
Thanks to its large working width (up to 500 mm) and optional pendant feeder (with lengths ranging from 10 to 30 cm), the WB-500 machine is the perfect tool for the efficient production of wall calendars. The automation of the wire cutting and spine closing process significantly speeds up this type of order.
