About this machine
The Fastbind Elite is a book binder — sometimes referred to as a perfect binder — designed to produce professionally finished bound documents in a compact, user-friendly format. Fastbind is a specialist manufacturer known for desktop and short-run binding equipment serving the digital print, copy, publishing, and photographic industries, and this machine reflects that focus on accessible, professional-quality binding for smaller production environments.
According to the seller, the Elite is capable of producing hardcover and softcover books, manager covers, tear-off pads, and strip bindings, making it a versatile unit for a wide range of finishing tasks. All these applications are carried out in a single continuous operation, with no changeover or adjustment time required between different binding types. The machine accepts all formats and intermediate formats up to DIN A4, and handles spine widths of up to 40 mm, covering the full range of typical short-run book thicknesses.
A notable feature highlighted by the seller is the proprietary Paper Fiber Opening (PGO) roughening system. Unlike conventional spine roughening mechanisms that abrade the spine by dragging across it — generating dust and noise in the process — the PGO system opens the paper fibres more gently. The result, according to the seller, is a quieter operation, no paper dust, and a stronger, more durable adhesive bond, particularly on challenging substrates such as colour-printed and photographic papers. The operator can also control the number of PGO passes applied to the spine, allowing adjustment for different paper types and bond strength requirements.
In terms of throughput, the binding cycle is stated at 20 seconds per book, equating to a production rate of approximately 180 books per hour. This machine dates from 2004, is offered in used condition, and is currently located in Germany.
