Vip Modulo Automatic Casing-in Machine
The particularity of the Vip Modulo casing-in machine, unlike traditional casing-in machine, is that the glue
is applied to the cover board instead of book blocks. This particularity, used by our company since 1992 for the special machines, allows to produce very fine thickness books (up to 2 mm).
The workflow of Vip Modulo casing-in machine is: feeding a hardcover case, integrated cover o paperboard cover,
then applying adhesive on the cover board using the two gluing guns of Hot melt to ensure a good placement with the book blocks.
The next step is delivering the cover to the gluing station, where the cold glue is applied on the COVER BOARD
by glue cylinder with pad. The thickness of glue on the cylinders is adjustable.
When the Vip Modulo casing-in machine is in stand by mode, the glue continues to circulate in the gluing system.
Applying process of the cover to the book blocks:
1. the book block is placed into the first cover board
2. the next step is lifting the second cover board, turning around it and finally
press the book with the cover
3. the next step is making the joint forming on the book using
the heated blades.
​
Because of the previous application of the Hot melt on the cover board, the book can be handled imediatly
without any risk of damaging by either stacker or palletizing robots.
