The Sterling Wiremaster Compact from Spiel Associates is “a game changer when it comes to wire binding,” said the company. The Wiremaster Compact is a fully automatic double-loop wire binder capable of binding up to 2,000 books per hour. The machine is less than nine feet long and sells for about the same price as a top-tier semi-automatic wire binder. The operator simply drops a book on the conveyor and the Wiremaster Compact does the rest. In other words, it cuts and inserts the wire, closes the wire, and delivers the book onto a conveyor. The result is accuracy and reliability in wire binding at much greater speeds and at a reduced cost of ownership.
