In the printing industry, the binding process of booklets is an important challenge in balancing quality and efficiency. In particular, there is a growing demand for accommodating various paper types and achieving high-quality finishes. The 'Mitamax450+C' responds to a wide range of paper types, from thin paper to thick paper, and realizes high-quality booklet binding. It supports a broad range of papers, including folded photographic paper, inkjet paper, digital print paper, and printing paper, contributing to the production of photo books, brochures, catalogs, cookbooks, maps, picture books, and sheet music, leveraging the advantages of lay-flat binding. By using inexpensive cold glue, it achieves a finish that does not make the glue noticeable on thin folded printed paper. The paper feeding mechanism allows for the collating and gathering to be done in one process, supporting efficient binding operations. 【Usage Scenarios】 * Production of booklets such as photo books, brochures, catalogs, cookbooks, maps, picture books, and sheet music * Binding that accommodates various paper types from thin to thick 【Benefits of Implementation】 * Increased customer satisfaction through high-quality booklet binding * Cost reduction through efficient binding operations * Expansion of business opportunities by accommodating diverse paper types

We will introduce a case where the "MITABEST machine" for on-demand binding has been implemented, achieving efficiency improvements in the binding of architectural and civil engineering drawings through the mechanization of Kannon (folded) binding. We have addressed the challenges faced by copy offices and Kannon (folded) binding shops, such as "binding being done manually, resulting in long working hours" and "the finished product being uneven due to manual brush application." With a processing capacity of 100 sheets per minute that does not depend on the operator, we can offer same-day delivery and accommodate ultra-fast binding. Additionally, we can move away from manual binding methods, achieving speed and quality improvements through mechanization. [Challenges] ■ Binding is done manually, resulting in long working hours. ■ Manual brush application leads to uneven finished products. ■ Due to the nature of skilled labor, successors are not being trained. ■ The aging of skilled workers poses a risk to the company's sustainability if they retire. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the "Mitamax 330, 450, 450+C machine (on-demand binding method)," a low-cost cold glue (bond) binding machine for lay-flat type photo book albums. This machine addresses the challenges faced by photo book production companies, as well as school album production companies, collotype printing companies, and lay-flat book production companies, who require a binding machine compatible with digital printing, inkjet printing, and similar printers, and wish to accommodate small quantities and short runs. With this large-format photo album, it is also possible to bind with thin paper, allowing for differentiation. Being a domestically produced machine, it supports maintenance, repairs, procurement of parts, and modifications based on requests. 【Challenges】 ■ A binding machine compatible with digital printing, inkjet printing, and similar printers is needed. ■ There is a desire to accommodate small quantities and short runs. ■ A compact, accurate, and fast production-speed binding machine is required. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "Mitamax450" is a laminating machine designed for the production of photo books and albums. Unlike the hot melt method commonly used in foreign products, it employs cold glue, allowing for stable adhesion from thin paper to thick cardboard, even if it takes more time. It has a lower risk of deterioration due to curing, making it suitable for long-term storage of products. Even when binding with two types of paper, it automatically optimizes the amount of glue applied. It can be adjusted according to the material, such as photographic paper or cardboard, preventing curling and air pockets, resulting in beautifully flat pages. Additionally, by replacing the glue roller unit, it can accommodate dot pattern application while maintaining strength and reducing the amount of glue used. 【Features】 - Compatible with a wide range of bindings including photo books, albums, and catalogs - Cold glue method that minimizes aging deterioration - Stable binding from thin paper (0.1mm) to thick cardboard (1.5mm) - Improved finishing accuracy with automatic switching of glue application based on paper type - Prevents curling and lifting, resulting in a finish suitable for long-term storage It is ideal for improving the efficiency of producing high-quality photo books and albums.

"Mitabest" is a specialized machine that automatically performs folding and accordion binding for architectural and civil engineering drawings. It reduces the workload caused by labor shortages and a lack of successors, achieving "speed, beauty, and accuracy" that are difficult to attain through manual work. It enables stable binding even with thin, weak paper like copy paper. By applying glue only to the spine and the edges with a unique mesh roller, the pages open fully flat, resulting in a neat finish and smooth verification process. Additionally, it features high-speed processing of up to 100 sheets per minute, a double-sheet prevention mechanism, and detection sensors, ensuring stable quality while minimizing waste even in large-volume binding. 【Features】 - Dedicated machine for folding and accordion binding of architectural and civil engineering drawings - Stable binding even with thin copy paper - High-speed adhesion of up to 100 sheets per minute - Safe operation with double-sheet prevention device and detection sensors - Compact design (installation area of approximately 1m²) If you are considering the automation and labor-saving of drawing binding, please check the "Download Catalog" below.

"Mitabest" is a specialized machine that can create folded and glued bindings for architectural and civil engineering drawings. The paper flow is the same as that of lay-flat binding, but the adhesive application is only along the spine and the small edge, with a consistent width on both edges rather than across the entire surface. Additionally, the paper being bonded is thin and made of weak copy paper. The machine can bind two sizes of paper: A3 for open size and A4 or A3 for folded size. 【Features】 ■ Specialized machine for binding architectural and civil engineering drawings ■ Adhesive application only on the spine and small edge using a mesh roller with a dot pattern ■ High-speed bonding of up to 100 sheets per minute ■ Compatible with thin copy paper *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
