This GUK Grieser & Kunz Book Binder is a used book binding machine, dating from 2011 and currently located in Germany. Book binding machines — sometimes referred to as booklet makers or binding systems in trade contexts — are used in commercial print finishing to fold, cut, crease, perforate, and assemble printed sheets into finished booklets, brochures, and bound publications. GUK (Grieser & Kunzmann) is a well-regarded German manufacturer of folding and finishing equipment, serving the print and paper processing industries with precision machinery built to high engineering standards.
This particular machine is a combined system made up of several integrated components. The feeder unit is a GUK FL 50-2 flat-pile suction-air feeder, manufactured to Bäuerle OEM specification, and features a pneumatically controlled separating head that ensures accurate, consistent sheet separation even at maximum output speeds. A preselection counter is included, allowing operators to set and monitor sheet counts automatically.
The cutting and creasing station is a GUK SM 50-2. It accepts a sheet inlet width of between 150 mm and 540 mm, and an inlet length of between 210 mm and 800 mm, giving it a broad working range suitable for a variety of format sizes. The station is equipped with two pluggable cutter blocks, and roll setting is handled automatically via a paper strip, reducing manual adjustment. Drive is synchronous, transmitted through hardened, flank-ground helical gears, which contributes to smooth and precise operation across the system.
The machine is fitted with Techni Fold tooling, which is designed to prevent fibre breakage when making parallel folds in heavier grammage stocks — an important feature when working with thicker papers or boards. As an alternative to the folding tools, perforating tools can be fitted to the station, enabling the production of coupons, stamps, and similar perforated products.
A GUK S-520 mobile shed display with a clip-in transition unit is also included with the machine.
