Perfect Binder

Publica PRO

High performance for perfect bound products

Are you looking for the perfect solution for the industrial production of magazines, book blocks and perfect bound brochures up to 18,000 copies per hour? The Publica PRO is the fully automatic complete solution with performance-adapted gathering machine and efficient palletizer for processing sheetfed, web-fed and gravure printing layers.

The binder generation for periodicals, catalogs and magazines with long print runs is available in three performance classes: 12,000 (PRO12), 15,000 (PRO15), and 18,000 (PRO18) cycles per hour. With the PRO12 and the selected options lining station and end sheet gluer VA 424 hardcover book blocks can also be produced. The Publica PRO also offers a wide range of glue application systems: roller application and PUR nozzle.

New generation

The Publica PRO offers numerous innovations – a new CoPilot system (Siemens-NX) with intuitive design and individual user interface, swivelling touchscreens for greater ease of use, optimized side gluing by repositioning the gluing discs and Robatech-VPN back nozzle gluing.

Full automation

The high-performance perfect binders of the Publica PRO generation operate on the swivel clamp principle and process a wide range of formats. Full automation guarantees easy operation and high production speeds.

Fast changeover

The short make-ready times ensure that you can produce efficiently even with frequent format changes. The pressing rails for the various operating modes can be changed by pushing a button via pneumatic control.
