Description
The Standard Horizon BQ-160 PUR Single-clamp Perfect Binder satisfies the fast-growing demand for short-run digital photo books and prepared book blocks for case binding, with its PUR adhesive system. True of one book, the turnaround time is wonderfully short and cost efficient (eliminating the need to produce excessive amounts of copies). Economical in size, the BQ-160 PUR works well in small, well-vented spaces.
Features
Other features on the BQ-160 include energy-save and auto-off functions, the ability to notch in one or both directions, and an optional carbon air filtration system to reduce adhesive odors. The BQ-160 can produce extremely strong, high quality perfect bound books up to 1.6” thick and at speeds up to 180 cycles per hour. The BQ-160 can handle light to moderate production needs in almost any environment.
Why PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) Glue?
PUR is ideal to use on all types of paper -including coated stock. Other glues dry too fast to accommodate the glossiness of coated paper and cannot penetrate the fibres. What makes PUR different from other glue is that it has a slower reaction time and allows itself to seep into the fibres of coated stock more effectively. Before the BQ-160 PUR, PUR glue required large machinery that had a long set-up time with large amounts of waste if used on short-run production. The BQ-160 PUR now eliminates the need for large format perfect binders, giving you the freedom to produce as little or as many perfect binded books as needed, yet still capable of handling polyurethane reactive glue.
