About this machine
The Horizon BQ 270 is a used flexo-folder gluer — sometimes referred to as a perfect binder — dating from 2003 and currently located in Germany. Flexo-folder gluers are specialist finishing machines used in bookbinding and print-finishing to apply hot-melt or cold adhesive to book blocks and attach covers, producing perfect-bound books, brochures, catalogues, and similar publications. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of print-finishing equipment, producing machinery for the commercial printing, publishing, and graphic arts industries worldwide.
This machine is configured as a fully automatic, single-clamp hot-glue adhesive binder. It is equipped with a high-belt delivery unit featuring touch and work control, an SI-270 setting gauge, and an automatic suction-blast air cover feeder with four-fold creasing and a pre-pile height of 70 mm. Active side gluing is included, extending the adhesive application to the spine sides for improved binding quality. The machine has accumulated approximately 229,000 binding cycles.
Mechanically, the machine is rated at 500 cycles per hour, though the seller notes that practical throughput is approximately 350 to 420 bindings per hour depending on the product being run. Book block dimensions are accommodated across a wide range: lengths from 148 mm to 320 mm, widths from 105 mm to 320 mm, and thicknesses from 1 mm to 50 mm, making it suitable for everything from slim brochures to substantial bound volumes. Cover formats are accepted from a minimum of 135 × 240 mm up to a maximum of 320 × 660 mm, with cover stock weights ranging between 90 g/m² and 300 g/m².
