SPECIAL OFFER, ONLY ONE AVAILABLE! at this price

The DB-280 is the replacement for the popular DB-200 and boasts deceptively high production speeds capable of up to 200 books per hour. For such a small machine it offers a truly outstanding performance with the new Planamelt R adhesive.

Perfect for the 'on demand' short run book market

Very cheap cost per book (Cost of glue per book*) 

User Friendly Display

The design of the DB-280 incorporates a simple clear operating panel and LED, for single operator use.

Binding With & Without Covers

The DB-280 offers two binding functions in one compact unit:

(1) Padding, ideal for telephone pads, note pads, NCR pads.
(2) Binding of books, manuals etc with wraparound cover (perfect bind).

Manual, Automatic Or Padding

The DB-280 can be set to run automatically or manually.
In auto mode, the full benefits of the DB-280 can be realised through the automation of the clamping, release, nipping and binding functions with minimal operator intervention and maximum productivity.

Warm-Up

The DB-280 has a quick warm-up time of around 20-25 minutes, with a display on the LED indicating the status of the glue warm-up time (eg from Cold01 to Warm10 and finally Hot20).

Stand-by & Self-Test

Should the DB-280 need to be left idle for a period of time, by simply selecting the stand-by option the glue temperature lowers to avoid the burning and deterioration of the glue. When ready to use again, simply release it from stand-by at the touch of a button and within 5 to 8 minutes it will be ready.

During initial warm-up or after stand-by, once the glue temperature has reached the ideal operating temperature, the DB-280 automatically performs a self test, stirring the glue in preparation for operation, at which point the LED will indicate âReadyâ.
