Hunkeler Hosts Tenth Innovationdays, Reports Positive Business Results

Standard partner Horizon International showcased a broad range of integrated finishing solutions including the new BQ-280PUR Perfect Binder designed specifically for short-run, high quality PUR binding and featuring book-of-one production capability with single-person operation. Horizon also demonstrated the HT-1000V Variable Three-knife Trimmer capable of one-to-one variable trimming in-line with Horizon perfect binders, or off-line. In the Hunkeler booth, the Horizon BQ-470 Perfect Binder was finishing book blocks produced on the PF7 book-on-demand line. Glued book blocks were removed with robots from the delivery unit and transferred to Horizon’s BQ-470 via a transport carriage for near-line perfect binding.
