WHAT I LIKE:
It may appear overwhelming at first glance but beginning with the Coverbind CPB2SG is simpler than you may expect. This powerful perfect binding method performs well for small and large projects and has a low operating cost. It binds both thin and heavy volumes rapidly and efficiently, resulting in a bind that is firm, accurate, and of high quality. For that reason, it is a good fit for both small and large print shops. You can start binding up to 360 books per hour after setup set up. The Coverbind CPB2SG perfect binding machine can handle virtually any volume workload and would make the ideal addition to your workspace.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
The ability to bind smaller, moderate, and larger sizes give this binding machine the functionality that big plants and on-demand printing businesses require. If you are a smaller operation with limited floorspace, you can check out the Coverbind CPB1 tabletop perfect binder system. It is also easily movable; in the event, you need to rearrange your layout. Thankfully, due to the size, it also houses a vacuum, so you will not have any dust particles from the binding process floating around your shop.
I RECOMMEND THIS FOR: The Coverbind CPB2SG Perfect Binder is an excellent choice for a variety of binding needs, from simple to complex. I recommend this perfect binder for print shops that frequently complete on-demand orders for novels or large operations that need to fill a thousand books in a day at the rate of 360 books per hour. If your print company can handle the larger size, I recommend this perfect binder to make your binding process quick and painless while also being priced favorably with varying machines on the market.

Roughing/Milling Blade | Milling and 2 Heavy Duty Notching Pins | Milling and 2 Heavy Duty Notching Pins | Milling and 2 Heavy Duty Notching Pins | Roughing/Milling Blade gives the spine more surface area for the glue to adhere on. Model CPB2SG, CPB2GP, and CPB3GCFC are equipped with Roughing/Milling Blade. This procedure makes it easier when working with coated paper and other types of paper stock that need more glue saturation. | |
Glue Rollers | 2 Glue, 1 Metering PUR, 1 Side Glue Tank EVA | 2 Glue, 1 Metering, Side Glue Tank | 2 Glue, 1 Metering, Side Glue Tank | Glue rollers provide a foolproof bond from the 2 Glue Rollers and 1 Metering Roller. All models have the Side Glue Tank with 2 applicator rollers. A stonger bond is made with the side glue when the cover is nipped. This creates strong adhesion of the cover to the book block on both the spine and front/back. A built in heat control ensure that the temperature is always optimal. | |
Vacuum Waste Removal System | Yes | Yes | Yes | Having a Vacuum Waste Removal System helps keep the machine in optimal operating performance. The system collects dust that would otherwise end up inside the machine and glue. Without the vacuum system, paper dust produced from the roughening and notching process will accumulate and will cause future issues and damaged. | |
Safety Hood | Yes with fans to vent the PUR vapor. | Yes | Yes | Protecting operators from accidents is the Safety Hood. This feature prevents access to the glue pots. It is only bypassed when a security key is inserted. The function is convenient when the book block height exceeds the opening of the safety cover. It also provides access in troubleshooting the machine. To make sure that no accidents happen, a clamp safety sensor runs the entire length of the clamp. | |
Clamp Safety Sensor | Yes | Yes | Yes | Clamp Safety Sensors run the entire length of the book clamp to restrict access during operation. This prevent accidents that happend from contact with the binding parts. | |
Book & Cover Sensors | Yes | Yes | Yes | The Book and Cover Sensor makes sure that outputs are always complete. The sensor alerts the operator when a book or cover is missing. The binder will not operate when one of these components is missing. | |
Stand | Included | Included | Included | All machines come with stand to optimize its function and productivity as it provides the perfect working height, proper balance, and stability. The stand will create a cohesive workstation as it provides space for the compressor and glue storage. | |
Air Compressor | Yes | Yes | Yes | The binder takes advantage of Pneumatic control. It offers convenience and speed with its auto adjust functions for book block size. Eash machine comes with Quite Noise Compressor. | |
Fume Extractor | Yes | Yes (Avaiable) | Yes (Avaiable) | Creates a smell and odor-free work place with the Fume Extractor. The extractor traps fumes from the glue pot and directs away from the operator. Hooking the extractor to an external vent keeps the fume out of the workplace for operator safety. | |
Automatic Cover Creaser | No | No | Yes | The Automatic Cover Creaser eliminates the possibility of cracking in the folded site especially when working with digitally printed media. This feature maintains the aesthetic of the print and elevates the quality of the final product. Having this built in feature eliminates the need for an additional process on a separate machine, saving you time and money. | |
Creasing Bar | No | No | Yes | The Creasing Bar gives operators sevaral creasing depth options. It can be rotated in four directions to select the perfect crease depth for every unique project. | |
Automatic Cover Feeder | No | No | Yes | Improving the workflow and operator convenience is the Automatic Cover Feeder. It utilizes embedded sensors to automatically feed the cover into position when the binder is ready. The sensors also detect double feeding and and missing covers, ensuring that every output is perfect and complete. | |
Main Differences | PUR Glue | EVA Glue | EVA Glue | We offer Perfect Binders that utilize EVA or PUR glue. EVA glue is reusable, dries quickly and can be used on many different paper types. The glue also has a longer self life and can be reheated. PUR has a much greater bond to the paper, about 50%. It also has a greater stability in hot or cold temperatures like some EVA glues do. It is fully resistent to print ink and coated paper stock. PUR has a very short shelf life and unused glue must be vaccuum sealed for storage. Left over glue in pot can not be reheated/reused. PUR is more flexable that EVA but takes longer to cure. Each glue has it place in making Perfect Bind Books. |
