This listing is for a used book binder — specifically a double corner rotary pusher manufactured by Karl Tränklein, a German specialist in bookbinding and print-finishing machinery. Book binders of this type are used in the finishing stages of print production to trim, crease, and process book blocks and covers to precise dimensions, and this machine is known in the trade variously as a corner cutter or rotary trimmer depending on the operation being performed.
The machine is the Karl Tränklein EK-D 100, dating from September 1997, and it is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It has been cleaned and fully workshop-overhauled, meaning it has been inspected and restored to working order prior to sale.
In terms of technical specification, the unit accommodates a maximum stacking height of 100 mm, allowing multiple sheets or book blocks to be processed together in a single pass. The blade distance is adjustable across a range of 45 to 360 mm, giving the operator considerable flexibility to work with different format sizes. Each knife is independently adjustable, which allows fine-tuning of the cut position without affecting the opposing blade. The working table measures 500 × 205 mm. The machine is equipped with two upper knives, each ground to a 6 mm radius, and triggering is via a foot switch, leaving both hands free to position the workpiece. Power supply is 380 volt. A quantity of various additional tooling or plant attachments is included with the machine.
