Champion
e
Wohlenberg continues
the success story of its Champion line of machines with the new
perfect binder "Champion e". Following the Champion 7000 that
was first presented at DRUPA 1995, and the Champion 8000, the
"Champion e" is now the third generation of Champion machines.
As a platform for the upper performance segment of perfect binders,
it is therefore an important element in the Wohlenberg product
range. In particular, it is an impressive symbol for the innovative
force and capabilities of our company.
The starting point
for the development of the new Champion e was the demand from
our customers for further automation with the aim of achieving
a significant improvement in the efficiency of the perfect binder.
The outcome of our development was that we can now present a high-performance,
fully motorised perfect binder that meets all the requirements
and wishes of our customers.
Outstanding features
of the new Champion e are, in particular, simple operation, a
high level of automation (reconfiguration can generally be carried
out in less than 90 sec.), high-performance spine preparation
and low noise emission.
Initial reactions
from the market and from the technical committee of the trade
association are characterised by great enthusiasm for the capabilities
of the Champion e.

KEY FEATURES:
> Fully
motorised control of all important functions with high degree
of accuracy
> Optimal spine preparation with 4 motor-controlled
processing stations and dust extraction:
- High-performance
11 kW main milling unit, optionally with shred-type or dust
type milling unit
- BREF; a duplex
cutting tool for simultaneous forward and reverse milling to
prevent "beard formation"
- Synchronised
notching station with 3 notching tools for notching of product
spine
- Multi-tooth head
for roughening and lifting the paper fibres for optimal binding
quality at the same time as good impact behaviour
- Dust extraction
for gentle, contact-free removal of milling dust
> Movable
gluing units as exchangeable system for different gluing methods
(hotmelt, dispersion and PUR)
> Ready for the use of two-shot equipment
> Robust construction with new design
> Noise minimisation and selective starting and braking
behaviour through shaftless drive for the combination of gathering
machine and perfect binder together with optimised drives
> Space-saving machine configuration through 90 degree
and 180 degree curve between gathering machine and perfect binder
> NAVIGATOR - the user-friendly, graphically interactive
machine control system
> Dynamically expandable through IR drying, gauze station,
flap, scoring and folding station, high-frequency drying, cross-stacking
delivery, etc.
