The Rigo Millbind PUR-melt is a highly cost effective professional semi-automatic PUR binding machine. A key feature of the Rigo Millbind is the addition of electronically adjustable milling depth (0-3mm). This addition allows the Millbind to handle Folded Sections as well as Sewn Sections & Single Sheet book blocks. Rigo’s PUR binders stand out with their “unique high pressure” closed PUR Application System, making Rigo binders the envy of all other digital PUR binding manufacturers worldwide. This unique PUR Application system removes all the difficulties associated with PUR Binders. This closed tank system applies glue through a patented orbital nozzle system, making the clean-down and maintenance processes almost redundant.

Ridiculously simple to use and designed to de-skill the PUR binding process. Automated systems measure the book thickness and spine length. The Millbind then automatically sets the nozzle thickness and glue application length to the same specification. For even greater accuracy, the book block positioning and glue start/stop position can also be adjusted. The orbital nozzle application system applies a precise quantity of glue to the spine and book sides. Nipping pressure and cover application dwell times are also adjustable via the touch screen. Giving operators total control at their fingertips.

No pre-melter required, the Millbind uses a unique closed tank system which holds up to 3kgs of glue. A gear pump delivers the glue directly to the orbital nozzle for precise glue application. Electronic measuring of the glue tank keeps the operator informed of glue volumes. After use, flushing cleaners can be added to the tank and quickly flushed through the orbital nozzle for a quick and easy clean down process. All making the Lamibind the most user friendly PUR binder available.

Perfectly suited to short run on-demand applications of A3, A4 or A5 finished book sizes.
