The Schmedt PRÄLEG XL HHS1 is a book binding machine — sometimes referred to as a casing-in machine — used to attach hardcover cases to bound book blocks, a key step in the production of hardback books. Schmedt is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in bookbinding and print-finishing equipment, supplying binderies and book production facilities with machinery for casing-in, rounding, backing, and related finishing processes.
This 1999 machine handles a broad range of book formats, with a minimum book size of 80 × 110 × 2 mm and a maximum of 450 × 440 × 80 mm, giving it the capacity to work across small pocket-sized volumes through to large-format hardback titles. Throughput reaches up to 200 cycles per hour, making it suitable for mid-volume production runs.
The machine is available directly from stock in the Netherlands and, upon order, will be completed and supplied with a cover and two leak trays. An optional waffled glue roller is also available, which can be configured onto the machine for buyers who require that specific gluing characteristic. The unit is offered in used condition.
