Product Description:
The Formax ReadyCombE Electric Punch and Manual Comb Binding Machine is an office comb binding system that pairs an electric, foot pedal activated punch with a manual lever-operated comb binder. Designed for organizations with low to medium volume punch and binding needs, it punches up to 16,000 sheets per hour, binds up to 200 booklets per hour, and handles booklets up to 480 sheets thick. Comb binding allows pages to be added or removed without damaging the document or the binding, which makes it useful for documents that need regular updates.
The precision vertical punching system uses gravity to keep every sheet in place for consistent hole placement, even on thicker document sets, and the foot pedal activation keeps production moving quickly. Specially hardened punch pins are easy to access and can be disengaged individually without tools to prevent partially punched holes on different paper sizes. The lever-activated comb open and close mechanism with closure control secures booklets up to 480 sheets, while user-friendly adjustment knobs allow quick changes to page size, margin depth, and binding dimensions. With heavy-duty all-metal construction and an easy-empty sliding waste tray, the ReadyCombE is suited for offices, schools, and print rooms that produce comb bound documents on a regular basis.
