Memory targets 100 head banding machine in 2014

Bal Krishan Khindria, managing director, Memory Repro Systems, said, “This is an ideal machine required by diary products manufacturers and hardcase bound book producers. A majority of the producers still do these jobs manually. Our banding machines will accelerate the production where no automatic line for hardcovers has been utilised.”
 

“We are pleased to announce that we had sold three machines, two in Bhopal and one in Ahmedabad; and targeting to install around 100 machines in 2014,” he added.
 

The machine serves for sticking the headband onto backs of separate book blocks. It joins a headband with double sided adhesive tape and unwinds a required length of headband up to 70mm with double sided adhesive tape. The operator then inserts a book block into the machine and after stepping on the pedal the headband is stripped off and further material is fed in, to allow the processing of a next book block. 
 

This small machine is fitted with stepper motor, controlled through PLC for variable head band size. It weighs only 22 kgs. It runs on input power of 0.4Kw and needs dry air of 6 bar pressure. The production speed of this machine is 12 to 20 book blocks per minute depending on the operator and thickness of the book block.
 

The pre- and post-press equipment manufacturing company also manufactures printing down frame, plate processor for CtCP and conventional PS plates, plate curing equipment, video plate punch and bender, and semi-automatic case making machine, pneumatic bundling and strapping machine, semi-automatic thermal lamination machine, board knurling machine.
