The Kolbus FN is a used book binder, a type of machine used in commercial bookbinding and print finishing to assemble and bind book blocks into finished bound volumes. Kolbus is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing bookbinding and book production machinery for the printing and publishing industries.
According to the seller's notes, this machine is configured for spine pressing and case forming, covering two key stages of the hardcover book production process. Spine pressing applies pressure to the glued spine of a book block to consolidate and shape it, while case forming is the process of assembling the rigid outer cover — or case — that is then attached to the book block. Together these functions place the machine within the book block production workflow, as indicated by the listed type classification.
The machine carries machine number 105 and dates from 1974. It is offered in used condition from a seller located in Germany.
