BQ-280PUR
High Quality PUR Binding

SPACE-SAVING AND HIGH QUALITYSINGLE CLAMP PUR PERFECT BINDER.
BQ-280PUR achieves superior binding quality and efficient operation.

BENEFITSPUR PERFECT BINDING
High quality PUR binding is assured with dual
application drums and separate EVA side glue
application. Drum application enables book-of-one
production with maximum quality control.
VARIABLE THICKNESS PRODUCTION
The built-in thickness caliper provides an instantchangeover for efficient variable thickness bookproduction. The BQ-280PUR enables a thin and evenamount of glue application for variable thickness books
and provides high production efficiency in a single
clamp binder.

EXTENDED SPINE LENGTH
Maximum book size is 385 x 320 mm or 15.15” x 12.59”
and the maximum book thickness is 51 mm or 2.00”.
EVA GLUE
Low temperature EVA glue (140 °C or 284 °F or below)
can be used. The system can be used for both PUR andEVA with the same tank.
MANAGE YOUR BINDERY WITH HORIZON’S BINDERYCONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be enhanced with automated workflow
from upstream to post-press with iCE LiNK, which uses
cloud technology, Horizon’s post-press management
system.

Polyurethane Reactive, also called PUR, is a popular due to it’ssuperior binding strength and ecofriendliness.

PUR is not affected by ink solvent and reduces
potential problems.

LAY-FLAT
Stays open
PUR glue is more flexible than EVA glue and Closes naturally
provides lay-flat qualities when the bookis opened. It is ideal for music books andcookbooks, which are read on the desk, andPUR
EVA
two-page spread such as photo books. This lay-flat quality makes iteasy to read books and extends the book life.

HIGH BINDING STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
The binding strength is about three times
Fall
Not Fallstronger than the EVA glue. Coated paperor specialty stocks, which can be a problem
with EVA, are bound securely in PUR bound
PUR
EVAbooks. EVA glue binding strength becomes
weaker over time. However, the PUR glue retains durability andflexibility in both high and low temperatures for long lasting bookquality.
2TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE / UNAFFECTED BY INK
The PUR glue is unaffected by temperature andhumidity compared to the EVA glue. This allows
PUR bound books to be handled in almost anyclimate or location. If EVA is attached to printing
area, solvent ink and EVA bring about reactions,causing a binding issues. On the other hand,

ENERGY SAVING / COST SAVING
The PUR glue can be applied at low temperature (120 °C or 248°F),
and its high adhesiveness allows thin glue application (0.4 mm or0.016").

RECYCLABLE
The PUR is easy to be separated from the paper. It enables to recycle
PUR bound books, saving disposal cost. PUR is environmentallyfriendly and recyclable, which is perfect for the ISO14001 certified
companies to produce catalogs and brochures.

1 OPERATION CONSOLE

5 COVER FEEDING SECTION / SCORING SECTION

The changeover can be completedin less than one minute by simply
inputting job information at the color
touch panel. All setups including glue
setup, nipping width, nipping heightand scoring rollers can be adjusted automatically based on
the book block information.

Superior cover feeding is assured
with suction rotary feeding
system and ultrasonic double feed
detection. Cover scoring position isadjusted automatically through thetouch panel. BQ-280PURFC is available with additional 2 flap
cover scoring with automatic setup feature.

2 BOOK THICKNESS CALIPER

6 NIPPING SECTION

Book thickness caliper is provided asstandard equipment. Book thickness
is automatically measured by placing
the book block into the digital caliper
and the BQ-280PUR starts the set-up
of each mechanism based on the measured thickness. Theset-up for the next book block starts automatically while theprevious book is still in-process which allows efficient shortrun book production.

The automatic nipper heightadjustment from the touch panel
allows for complete tool-lessoperation. A square spine is assured
with the powerful and rigid nipping
mechanism.

3 MILLING SECTION

7 DELIVERY SECTION

A powerful milling mechanismand special milling blade formaximum paper fiber and clean
spine preparation for PUR binding.
Uniquely designed wire brushcleans up the spine and also prevents the milling chips fromgetting into the glue tank.

The newly designed book delivery
section receives each book gently
with an elevator-style delivery
system to avoid damage to the spineof PUR bound books.

4 GLUE TANK UNIT
Open drum system enables easier
setup and variable thickness
production. Setups including glue
amount adjustment, drum height,and wiper opening can be done
through the touch panel.

GLUE TANK CLEANINGThe glue tank can be removed very
easily for tank cleaning. The entire
glue tank can be lowered with a simple
operation from the touch panel. The
optional S-280 glue tank stand makes
tank replacement much easier and safer.
