The K5 book wrapping machine is a device for demanding customers, with a separate tank for side gluing.
Basic technical parameters:
- 7 inch touchscreen display for easy changing of operating parameters
- cutter with replaceable blades for longer tool life
- New glue gun layout for better glue application
- more precise setting of the amount of glue on the back
- preheating tray ensures stability of adhesive parameters
- more durable construction and new elegant design
- The function of shaking the block before gluing.
Thanks to the adhesive system with a heated alignment roller, the bonding is permanent and the glue is applied evenly. The back of the binding made in this way is completely flat and looks very aesthetically pleasing. The machine is equipped with a separate glue tank for side gluing.
The book binding process can be fully automatic (three modes of operation) with the exception of cover feeding (cover feeding is done manually), which significantly speeds up the work and guarantees uniformly consistent quality of the bindings. Thanks to their robust construction and high productivity, the machines are used in offset and digital printing houses and binderies.

Characteristics of EVA (hot melt) adhesives used in the above-mentioned edgebanding machines:
As a standard product used in the typical binding of glued books, EVA (hot melt) hot melt glue can be purchased in hundreds of versions, although certain characteristics are unique to each. EVA hot melt adhesives are composed of thermoplastic polymers, adhesion-enhancing resins and waxes, reaching the right viscosity when heated to a certain temperature in a tank. EVA adhesives are heated before application, allowing them to be processed. EVA glue can be used to bond coated and uncoated paper. It is in most cases strong enough, dries quickly, and is affordable and available in many varieties. Once applied, EVA glue rigidly bonds all parts together. Special pressure-responsive varieties are used to glue the sides of the liner and hardcover components. In modern EVA adhesives, chemical transformations occur very slowly during storage and use of finished products. However, these adhesives have a relatively high glass transition temperature and products stored in cold warehouses may crack. This effect disappears once they reach room temperature.
