This used book binder is a piece of finishing equipment designed to gather, stitch, and fold printed signatures into finished booklets — a machine also commonly known as a saddle stitcher or saddle binder in the trade. C.P. Bourg is a well-established Belgian manufacturer specialising in high-quality bookbinding and finishing equipment, serving commercial printers, publishers, and in-plant print operations worldwide.
The unit is currently located in Germany and is offered in used condition. According to the seller's notes, the machine is configured as a complete inline system comprising three discrete modules. The first is an AGR stitching unit fitted with two ACME stitching heads, which feed and drive the wire staples that bind the folded signatures together along the spine. Having two stitching heads is standard for reliable, balanced staple placement across the width of the booklet. The second module is a PA layer folding unit, which collates and folds the gathered signatures prior to stitching, ensuring accurate spine alignment. The third component is a delivery unit, which receives the finished, stitched, and folded booklets and presents them for downstream stacking or further processing.
Taken together, these three units represent a self-contained saddle-stitching line capable of producing staple-bound booklets from collated printed sheets.
