About this machine

This Heidelberg Eurobind EB-60 is a book binder — more specifically a perfect binder, sometimes referred to as a adhesive binder — a type of finishing machine used to bind individual printed sheets or book blocks into a finished book or booklet by applying hot-melt adhesive to the spine and, where required, to the sides, then attaching a cover under pressure. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in print finishing and press technology, building equipment for commercial print shops, publishers, and binderies worldwide.

This 2008 machine is a single-clamp perfect binder configured for hot-melt adhesive work, with integrated glue vapour extraction to manage fumes during production. The binding cycle is rated at 600 cycles per hour. It accepts book blocks ranging from 120 mm to 440 mm in height, 120 mm to 320 mm in width, and 2 mm to 50 mm in thickness, making it suitable for a broad range of product formats from slim brochures to substantial books. Paper grammages of 60 to 170 g/m² are supported for the book block, and covers can measure between 242 mm and 710 mm in width and 120 mm to 440 mm in height, with a cover grammage range stated as up to 130 g/m².

The backworking station is equipped with a combination tool featuring dust cutters, a height-adjustable notching knife, and a ring brush. Milling depth is adjustable between 0 and 3 mm. The hot-melt adhesive basin incorporates two application rollers and a glue squeegee, alongside an integrated side gluing unit with slanted discs; the machine is also capable of running production without side glue when required. Spine and side gluing are both supported as standard functions.

The cover feeder includes an integrated double creasing unit, with decorative creasing available as an option, and the machine features automatic envelope pressing and a belt delivery system with a single-compartment stacker. Envelope double sheet control is included to prevent misfed covers from reaching the binding cycle. The pliers are pneumatically operated, with automatic adjustment of the nipper opening according to block thickness; side gluing disc positioning and back creasing depth also adjust automatically to block thickness.

Machine settings are managed via a touchscreen interface using icon-based navigation, supported by a preheating timer and a copy counter. An error analysis function assists with fault diagnosis during operation. Additional equipment includes flaps and creasing tools, and rear envelope guide rail positioning adjusts automatically according to envelope width. The machine is offered in used condition and is currently located in Germany.
