The C.P. Bourg Perfect Binder was specifically designed to meet the challenges of digital printing. It offers high-quality, professional perfect binding for softcover books, manuals, and reports in short runs or as “one-off” productions. The system ensures the highest binding quality with maximum flexibility.
The machine can be operated directly in conjunction with a digital printing press (inline) or as a standalone unit (nearline/offline). This enables the processing of book blocks from a wide variety of print sources and ensures optimal machine utilization.
Minimal setup time thanks to automatic adjustment of the clamp, the milling area, and the adhesive application parameters to the individual book block thickness — ideal for variable jobs.
Offers a choice between flexible, high-strength polyurethane reactive adhesive (PUR) and traditional EVA hot melt adhesive to ensure the best durability for every application.
Equipped with precise milling and roughening units to ensure optimal preparation of the book spine, thereby guaranteeing maximum glue absorption and binding durability.
Can be expanded modularly with additional components such as the Bourg Book Compiler (BBC) module for single-sheet collation and automatic three-side trimmers (e.g., CMT-330TC) to enable finished book production without operator intervention.
The C.P. Bourg BB3002 Perfect Binder is a fully automated adhesive binding system featuring a precision milling station, cover feeder, and three‑knife trimming, optimized for high-quality digital print finishing and seamlessly compatible with Jetfire and Versafire presses from HEIDELBERG.
