This Zechini Gamma is a folding machine, a category of bookbinding equipment used to fold and case printed book blocks or cover boards into finished hardcover books — a process also widely referred to as casing-in. Zechini is an Italian manufacturer with a long-established reputation in the bookbinding and book production industry, supplying machinery for both industrial-scale and specialist print finishing operations.
Built in 2000 and currently held in stock at a location in the Netherlands, this used machine is available for direct delivery. The unit is configured as a casing-in machine, designed to join a book block to its hardcover case with precision gluing and pressing. One of its key specified features is an electrically adjustable thickness capacity of up to 100 mm, allowing the machine to accommodate a wide range of book block thicknesses without requiring manual mechanical adjustment.
As part of the preparation for sale, the seller notes that the machine will be completed with several new components prior to dispatch. These include new side dams, a new glue bin, and new glue adjustment gears. This refurbishment work means the buyer receives the machine in a more complete and operational condition than a standard used sale, with critical gluing-system components renewed.
The machine is listed as available direct, indicating it is physically in stock and ready to proceed without delay once a transaction is concluded.
