Professional semi-automatic edge banding machine K5
Book wrapping machine K5 is the ideal solution for digital printers and binderies looking for professional quality and high automation in a compact form. The machine carries advanced features known from larger industrial systems - such as separate tank for side gluing, glue preheating tray or milling system with notching - for a smaller sized machine. With its robust design, intuitive touch panel and fully automated binding process (except for manual cover feeding), the K5 guarantees reproducible, high quality finished books, catalogs or albums, becoming a reliable mainstay of any modern print shop.
Key features and benefits
🔥 Advanced bonding system with separate side bonding
At the heart of the machine is an adhesive system with two rollers (application and alignment) that guarantees a perfectly flat and aesthetically pleasing spine. What's key, separate side glue tank provides extraordinary binding strength and prevents sheets from falling out, a feature that is characteristic of high-end machines.
⚙️ Precision milling and back preparation
The powerful cutter with replaceable blades not only aligns the spine of the book block, but also makes deep cuts (notching) in it. Such a process drastically increases the glue-grabbing surface, which is crucial for durable binding, especially on difficult, coated papers.
🤖 High automation and intuitive operation
Automatic carriage clamp, block shake function and automatic cover pressure ensure repeatability and eliminate human error. The operator manages all parameters via a clear, 7-inch touchscreen, selecting one of three modes of operation according to your needs.
🌡️ Glue stability thanks to warming tray
The innovative glue pellet pre-heating tray ensures that glue of stable temperature and ideal viscosity is delivered to the main tank. This eliminates the problems associated with fluctuating glue parameters, which guarantees even application and consistent binding quality from the first book to the last.
EVA adhesive technology - realize its full potential
EVA (hot-melt) adhesives are an economical and versatile solution for book binding. The K5 wrapping machine is designed to take full advantage of their properties. Thanks to advanced features such as precise temperature control, a preheating tray and an innovative application system, the machine provides optimal working conditions for the adhesive. This guarantees maximum adhesion and binding durability on a wide range of papers, both coated and uncoated, while keeping production costs low.
