This Kolbus HL 70 Book BLO Book Binder is a used book binder — sometimes referred to as a book binding machine — designed for the production of bound book blocks. Book binders of this type are central to commercial bookbinding operations, joining covers to book blocks through a combination of gluing, gauzing, and banding processes to produce finished hardback or casebound books. Kolbus is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing machinery for the bookbinding and print finishing industries, supplying equipment to commercial binderies and publishing production facilities worldwide.
This machine is configured for book block production and carries machine number 296. It is equipped with head and tail banding stations, which apply fabric tape to the spine ends of the book block, along with gauzing stations that reinforce the spine with a layer of mesh fabric — both processes being standard steps in the production of durable casebound books. A cold glue applicator is also integrated, enabling adhesive application without the need for hot-melt systems. The machine is listed with its standard accessories included.
The working format is specified as 28 x 40, and the machine is located in Germany. It is offered in used condition, having been manufactured in 1970.
