FastBack Model 20

The perfect binding machine for anyone who needs a fast, full-featured machine capable of binding in large quantities

Fast, and virtually maintenance free, it is the ideal machine for any print shop, copy shop, professional bindery, or office that wants a full-featured binding solution at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. This machine works with nearly all of the Powis binding materials, from the versatile Super Strip to the Perfectback® strips for perfect binding paperback books. It can create anything from a simple report, to a 350-sheet hard cover book.

The Fastback® 20 is designed to work in concert with the Foilfast™ Printer, the PowisPrinter™, and the Scoring Machine to help automate offices and eliminate down time. The machine’s design features improve productivity, and ensure that the Fastback® 20 can adapt to future developments, giving owners years of reliability and usefulness. Maintenance is a breeze, thanks to the Teflon-coated heating platens. The machine identifies exactly what type of binding strip is being used and automatically adjusts the settings. The document cooling rack can sit as a standalone unit, or, when space is at a premium, can be mounted atop the machine itself.
