The Schmedt PRÄDRY HHS 12 is a dryer designed specifically for perfect-bound book blocks — sometimes referred to as an adhesive binding dryer — used in bookbinding production to cure and set the adhesive applied during the binding process. Schmedt is a well-established German manufacturer of bookbinding and finishing machinery, supplying equipment to the graphic arts, print finishing, and bindery industries.
This particular unit is an extendable infrared drying device, meaning its length can be adjusted to suit different production line configurations or throughput requirements. The drying system uses a three-stage infrared emitter with selectable power levels of 650, 850, and 1,500 watts, allowing operators to choose the appropriate heat intensity for the book block being processed. The staged power settings enable gentle, controlled drying at the lower settings, while the 1,500-watt level provides faster throughput when conditions allow. The infrared approach delivers targeted heat directly to the bound spine area, promoting efficient curing without excessive thermal stress on the book block materials.
The machine is offered in used condition and is located in Germany.
