How does it work?
Our sales model is based on a typical e-commerce method. Simply add all machines and items you wish to buy to your basket, fill in your delivery data and click order! You will then receive two emails: one with order confirmation, and the second one with a Proforma Invoice.
Complete your order by transfering the amount shown on the Proforma Invoice – only then we will start to process your order.
The lead time varies based on the machine type, model and on how many other processing orders we have. The standard time we anticipate is 20-25 days. If you wish to have a personalized approximation of your lead time, do not hesitate to email us with an enquiry and a list of products you want to order at support@unitedbindery.com.
Currently the only method for delivery is being organized by a customer, therefore the delivery time depends on you and your supplier.
In the basic model of our business you have to install the machine yourself. You will be provided with a detailed installing instruction and a video. In the future, with the implementation of more complex machinery, we might include installation and training in the price of the machine.
If you wish to have your machine/s installed, add the service of machine installation for each machine you want to have installed (available only in specific locations).
You will find the information about our warranty model on the Warranty Terms and Conditions page.
If you wish to have an extended warranty, containing our servisants arriving to your location, see the service of Full Warranty (available only in specific locations).
When you choose to have your machines installed, the service of technician’s transport automatically adds to your basket. Please do not remove it, nor add it without the service of machine installation.
The production time varies depending on the machine – it takes from 3 to even 25 days. However, the production may get delayed when we are missing crucial components, or when we have other orders being processed.
Machines
We offer a range of products designed for book finishing process. At the moment, we provide stackers, belt conveyors, gravity roller conveyors and waste paper conveyors.
Our ROBO line will provide all necessary machinery to make a softcover book from a roll of paper to the finished product. Our offer will therefore contain paper web cutting lines, three-knife trimmers, perfect binders and feeders/de-stackers. Additionally, we are designing a book edge printing machine. We will consistently release these machines on a time span of a few following years.
It highly depends on the performance you require.
- Rs200 is a very simple machine where you only include the number of books per stack. It has maximum speed of 2000 cycles/hour and maximum stack height of 130mm.
- Rs500 however, is a more versatile machine. It has two modes which enable operator to choose whether to focus on speed or height. In the fast production mode, the maximum parameters are 5000 cycles/hour and the stack of 154mm; in the high stack mode, the maximum parameters are 3000 cycles/second and the stack of 290mm.
If you need a versatile machine, go for Rs500 – it will manage in most conditions. If you need a simple stacker for more straightforward, repetitive jobs – go for Rs200.
You might want it to directly supply power. However, remembering that belt conveyors are supporting machines, you might choose to attach their power supply to the neighboring, main machines.
We offer all the separate parts, because we want to be as transparent and accessible as possible.
In the foreseeable future we are planning to open up a United Bindery showroom with all our machines displayed and ready for presentation.
At the moment, you can watch the videos of our machines working on our Youtube channel.
Payment and delivery
Generally yes, we won’t move your order to processing without receiving the full payment. However, if you need our machines urgently, and struggle to quickly gather the necessary amount, message us at support@unitedbindery.com – we will try to design a special offer with postponed payment for you.
No, our price are fixed and non-negotiable. It is that way for a reason – we want all our customers to have equal prices, introducing a high degree of transparency and fairness. Of course we try to keep our prices low and competitive – we believe it is not necessary to further lower prices.
At the moment we do not provide an option to deliver our machines to your doors. The only option for delivery is a pickup organized by you – we will let you know when will our machines be ready for pickup, so that you can organize transport.
