Advantages at a glance

• Innovative Three-side Trimmer – The HT-30C Three-side Trimmer trims three sides of a book with a single knife. A pressure clamp holds and rotates the books for sequential top, fore-edge and bottom trimming.
• Robotic Trimming – The operator simply inputs untrimmed and trimmed book size at the color touchscreen. The HT-30C then performs all necessary set-ups automatically and transports and trims each book.
• Highly Accurate Finishing – Precise servo motors are employed for knife positioning to insure high-quality trimming. The servo controlled hydraulic unit adjusts pressure automatically for markless trimming.
• Nonstop Trimming – If the book dimensions are the same, the HT-30C can trim books of different thickness continuously. Maximum trim thickness is 2”.
• Powerful Trimming – Knife operation and book clamping are hydraulic controlled for safe and powerful trimming.
• Safety Operation – The trimming section, feed table and stacker are all interlocked and safety covered for maximum operator safety.
• Manage your Bindery with pXnet – The optional pXnet bindery control system makes job scheduling and tracking for the HT-30C super efficient, or accept JDF set-up data from an upstream workflow.
