Bookbinding Press Machine A3 A heavyduty manual flattening press designed for commercial bookbinding and document finishing. Ideal for shaping, pressing, and flattening vouchers, hardcover books, photo albums, magazines, and paper craft projects. Reliable mechanical design provides consistent, stable pressure for neat, longlasting results. Key benefits Powerful flattening force: 1500 kg (3306 lbs) pressure delivered through a rotating handle, enlarged nut, and thickened pressure plate for effective compression. Deep press capacity: Accepts material stacks up to 15 cm (5.9 inches) thick for a wide range of bookbinding and finishing tasks. Durable construction: Thickened steel platen and body resist deformation for consistent flattening and long service life. Stable working base: 8 mm bottom plate and nonslip foot pads improve stability and reduce movement during use. Accurate alignment: Removable threesided baffle keeps sheets and books aligned left, right, and center to prevent slipping and improve flattening results. Easy operation: Simple manual controls let operators position material, adjust pressure, and hold items securely while adhesives cure or pages settle. Performance and specifications Model size: A3 Machine dimensions: 50 x 31 x 35.5 cm Platen area: 43 x 30 cm Pressing thickness: up to 15 cm (5.9 inches) Maximum pressure: 1500 kg (3306 lbs) Bottom plate thickness: 8 mm Platen thickness: 0.3 inch Applicable uses: books, documents, paper crafts, photo albums, vouchers, hardcover binding projects Features that matter Thickened steel platen and frame enhance rigidity and deliver an even flattening surface. Reinforced screw and enlarged nut produce higher mechanical advantage and allow the press to reach full rated pressure reliably. Removable threesided baffle simplifies setup for different document sizes and maintains straight edges during pressing. Nonslip foot pads protect work surfaces and keep the machine secure during operation. Typical applications Bookbinding workshop: Set and flatten glued spines and covers after casing in, ensuring even contact across the book block. Photo album production: Compress pages and adhesive layers to prevent warping and maintain a flat finished album. Office or archives: Flatten stacked vouchers, certificates, and documents for storage, scanning, or presentation. Operation outline 1. Position material on the platen and align using the threesided baffle as needed. 2. Lower the platen with the rotating handle until contact is made. 3. Tighten the nut to increase pressure up to the required level for the job. 4. Leave material under pressure until adhesive sets or the desired flattening is achieved. Why choose this model Specifically sized platen for A3format jobs while remaining compatible with smaller paper and book formats. Robust mechanical design and pressure capacity make it suitable for commercial use and repeated daily operation. Simple, dependable controls and alignment features reduce setup time and improve consistency. Includes clear specifications for safe, consistent use in bookbinding, print finishing, photo album manufacture, and document organization.
