This James Burn BB43-WIRE-O Book Binder is a semi-automatic book binding machine — sometimes referred to as a wire binding machine — designed specifically for closing Wire-O® bindings across a wide range of document formats. James Burn is a well-established manufacturer of binding and finishing equipment, serving the print and publishing industries with machinery built around wire, comb, and coil binding processes.
This particular unit is configured for closing Wire-O® bindings up to 430 mm in width, making it suitable for a broad range of book and document sizes. It supports all common Wire-O® pitches — both 2:1 and 3:1 — across wire sizes from 1/4" through to 1", giving operators the flexibility to handle a wide variety of binding specifications on a single machine. The machine ships with a complete set of closing tools covering all those Wire-O® sizes, so it is ready to put into production without the need for additional tooling investment.
At a rated output of up to 1,000 books per hour, the machine is well suited to commercial print finishing environments where consistent throughput on Wire-O® bound work is required. Operation is semi-automatic, meaning an operator is required to guide and feed material, but the closing process itself is mechanised.
It is important to note that this unit does not include a calendar hanger feeder and is therefore not suitable for calendar production involving hangers. Its application is the binding of books and other Wire-O® bound documents. The machine runs on 230 V / 50 Hz / 3 A single-phase power. It is a 1996 model in used condition, currently located in the Netherlands, and is offered at $10,000.
