About this machine
The Fastbind R2 Practic is a book binding machine — sometimes called a perfect binder — designed to produce professionally bound books by applying hot glue to the spine of a gathered text block and attaching a cover. Fastbind is a specialist manufacturer of binding equipment, known for producing compact, user-friendly machines suited to copy shops, print shops, and in-house print operations requiring reliable, low-to-medium volume binding output.
This particular unit is positioned as a manual-glue-application machine, meaning the operator controls the gluing process directly rather than relying on fully automated feeding. According to the seller, this approach eliminates makeready times and gives complete freedom in material choice, making it especially well suited to coated papers and mixed jobs where format changes would otherwise interrupt production. The machine can handle a binding thickness ranging from 0.1 mm to 50 mm, accommodating everything from slim brochures to substantial documents. Maximum binding format is 435 × 305 mm, and the machine can work with cover or binding materials up to 400 g/m² in grammage. A roughening function is included, which abrades the spine of the text block before gluing to improve adhesion.
In terms of throughput, the machine is rated at up to 450 gluing operations per hour and up to 180 finished books per hour, figures consistent with a busy copy centre or short-run commercial printer. Power requirements are modest: the unit runs on 220–240 V at 50–60 Hz with a maximum current draw of 3 A, meaning it can be operated from a standard single-phase supply without dedicated electrical infrastructure.
This is a used example manufactured in 2002, currently located in Germany.
