Bourg Binder BB3002 EVA / PUR-C Off-Line

Why use PUR glue?

Five key reasons to use the PUR gluing system:

1. Books lay flat;
2. Books last longer thanks to a better glue adherence (sheet pull test resistance 12 N/cm (+ 30 to 50 % typically and a higher resistance to low and high temperature environments (e.g., glue does not wear off while reading a book on the beach or on the terrace of a ski station);
3. Better application on difficult media (e.g., coated papers, Silicone Fuser Oil on digitally printed sheets or covers with UV coating);
4. Less glue and energy used in the process (more ecological).
5. Contrary to our competitors' machines, the BB3002 includes a Nordson applicator which makes the gluing system fully closed. The binder does not need to be stopped either during adhesive refill nor every two hours to be cleaned. There is just one purge cup to be emptied every time you start the machine. This results in operation and adhesive savings.

Up to 13 positive/negative cover knife creases

Compared to wheel scoring, knife creasing is, by far, the best solution.It offers a superior and cleaner quality result which avoids the printed surface to be damaged and the covers to be cracked. This creasing system is easier to adjust and offers more flexibility as you can perform variable creasing and make books from 2 to 600 sheets.

This is ideal to produce softcover books:

• in EVA with inner flaps (winged books) such as medical prescription books
• On-demand full-color print materials in PUR-C such as photo books.

Our modular approach enables your machines to grow at the same time than your business

You can start with a BB3002 perfect binder and later upgrade it by connecting to a Bourg Book Loader (BBL) or a Bourg Book Complier (BBC) with one or two Bourg Sheet Feeder (BSF), one or two Bourg Preparation Module (BPM) and a trimmer CMT-130TC or CMT-330TC working In-Line, Near-Line and Off-Line to increase efficiency.

The key benefit of the BBL is efficiency. The BBL enables your operator to load up to 120 book blocks in less than six minutes. The machine can then work automatically at constant speed of the perfect binder for 8 to 25 minutes. The operator can use this time saved to start packing books that have just been trimmed on the CMT-130TC or CMT-330TC and deliver the customer faster or to perform other urgent tasks on other machines.

The BBC enables you to connect the BB3002 directly to a printer. The binder will therefore be fed sheet by sheet. Once the book block is completed, the book will be glued immediately. Productivity gain is achievedas no intervention of an operator is needed to glue books and there is no need to wait until all book blocks of the job queue are prepared before glueing them.

Finally, your machine can also be equipped with the barcode solution that enables job tracking to maximize productivity and integrity. This is especially useful in “book runs of one” where matching cover to content is critical.

In brief, the BB3002 EVA/PUR-C integrates with your current and future workflow.
