Spiralbindemaschine - Spiral binding machine FOELL 33
Coil or spiral binding machines punch holes along a document edge and insert a plastic or metal coil to secure pages. Common in print shops, offices and schools, they produce lay-flat books ideal for manuals, reports and notebooks. Models range from manual bench-top units to semi- and fully-automatic inserters for higher volumes. Important factors include compatible coil diameters, throat depth, punch condition and available consumables like coils and spare dies.
Inspect punch pins and dies for wear, test the coil inserter and feed mechanism, check motor and electricals, confirm compatibility with the coil sizes you need, and ask for maintenance records or a short test run.
Ship crated or palletized with moving parts secured and loose accessories packed separately. Use a freight carrier experienced with print equipment, add insurance, and ensure a liftgate or forklift is available at pickup and delivery.
Position on a stable table or floor, connect power, install punches/dies and guides, calibrate throat depth and coil diameter stops, run sample jobs, and train operators on safe use and adjustments.
Regularly clean paper dust from punch stations, lubricate moving parts per the manual, replace worn punch pins/dies, and keep stock of coils in required diameters and lengths.
