This Kolbus HD 140.P is a used guillotine — sometimes referred to as a three-knife trimmer or book trimmer — built for trimming bound books and publications to their final format dimensions. Kolbus is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing bookbinding and finishing machinery for the commercial printing and publishing industries. This machine was manufactured in 2000 and carries serial number 347, and is currently located in Germany.
The HD 140.P handles a maximum untrimmed format of 305 × 420 mm, with a trimmed size range of 100 × 100 mm minimum up to 300 × 400 mm maximum. Book block thickness is accommodated from as little as 2 mm up to 80 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of product types from thin booklets through to substantial hardback or paperback volumes. The feeding stack height is 80 mm, and the machine operates at a mechanical speed of up to 3,900 cycles per hour. Infeed is configured from the right.
This unit is equipped with a Copilot control system and an automatic infeed, which together streamline operator workload and support consistent throughput. Additional automation features include automatic speed regulation, automatic locking of the knife adjustment and pressing block, and automatic setting of book block pressure — all of which contribute to repeatable, precise trimming with reduced manual intervention between job changes.
