FAQ

What should I check when buying a used case/hard cover binding machine?

Inspect wear on glue systems, clamps, conveyors, and electrical controls. Check maintenance records, test casing-in and trimming cycles, and verify spare parts availability and vendor support for the model.

How do I arrange safe shipping for a hardcover binding line?

Use a carrier experienced with print machinery. Crate delicate units, secure moving parts, drain fluids if needed, label lift points, and confirm insurance and customs paperwork for international transport.

What routine maintenance keeps these machines reliable?

Regularly clean glue tanks and applicators, check heater and cooling systems, lubricate moving parts, inspect belts and sensors, and follow the manufacturer’s schedule for parts replacement and calibration.
