BOOK BLOCK MAKING SYSTEM
BBS-56

EFFICIENT PLOW-FOLD BOOK BLOCK MAKING SYSTEM FOR SHORT TO MEDIUM RUN PRODUCTION.

COMPACT YET ROBUST – The BBS-56 features a footprint that is smaller than conventional plow folds for operational convenience without sacrificing production power.

AUTOMATIC SPEED OPTIMIZATION – Once the production speed is input into the control panel, the BBS-56 will automatically adjust the unwinding speed during production to match that speed to increase productivity even when processing variable page count book blocks. This is accomplished by scanning barcodes with sheet count information that is printed on each sheet.

SYSTEM CONNECTIVITY – The BBS-56 is the perfect match for inline integration with our flagship solutions, the iCE BINDER BQ-500 and 3-knife trimmer HT-1000V, because of similar production speeds. As the BQ-500 and HT-1000V excel in variable thickness book production, it's possible for them to produce books of differing thicknesses received from the BBS-56 without stopping for changeovers.
