ACCEL Flex

Thermal Binding System

The Coverbind Accel Flex was manufactured specifically for offices and businesses with frequent soft cover and hard cover binding needs, with up to about 2,000 books per year. If you’re binding more than this, consider the more automated Coverbind Accel Cube machine instead. The Accel Flex is a durable, fast, and convenient thermal binding machine that will meet the various on-demand binding needs for small, medium, and often times, large offices. It also works as a perfect complimentary machine for the larger Accel Cube and Accel Ultra machines. The Accel Flex requires no warm up time, and is so simple to use, that literally anyone in your office can use it without any real training. Just three easy steps are needed to create the most immaculately bound presentations, reports, proposals, manuals, yearbooks, and more with this desktop thermal binding machine.

In addition to the incredibly easy operation, the Coverbind Accel Flex will produce both hard and soft covers as quickly as 900 books per hour. You can bind both hard and soft cover books together, as well as any spine sizes together – as long as they are all within the 2″ binding capacity overall. This means you can bind different jobs together, eliminating size change over time and hassle.

  • Simple - The Accel Flex is incredibly simple to use, and doesn't need any special training. There are no complicated settings on the machine, so truly anyone in your office can operate it. This makes it easy to create on-demand, and as-needed, no matter how many staff members you have. Three easy steps will bind perfectly finished documents. Just place your document pages into a Coverbind thermal binding cover, place the entire document (or multiple documents at one time) into the machine, and walk away.
  • Fast - The Accel Flex is a fast thermal binding machine and will bind up to 15 books at one time* and as fast as 900 documents per hour*. This is much faster than any traditional punch and bind binding method, which saves your users' valuable time so that you can meet on-demand requirements without high production costs.
  • Small - The Accel Flex is a compact tabletop machine that packs a powerful punch for its size. It measures just 17.9” W x 10.7" D x 6.1” H and weighs just under 14 lbs. It easily fits onto any desk or worktable.
  • Versatile - The Accel Flex is very versatile, able to not only bind books up to 2" thick, but also to bind all different assortment of spine sizes together, at the same time. This means there is no complicated change overs or setting adjustments needed. There is also a huge selection of Coverbind covers for you to choose from, including both soft/flexible covers and hard covers. We even have covers that you can customize in-house, and we can also produce custom covers for you.
  • Strong - The glue used on our Coverbind covers is unique to Coverbind only and provides the most superior thermal bind on the market. The glue is an EVA adhesive, which is incredibly strong, and that strength is only reinforced further with a cotton mesh that is built in within the glue strip where, as the glue heats up, it is exposed to grab a tight hold to each and every sheet in your document. With these features, Coverbind covers are compatible with virtually every paper stock you can imagine, including textured paper, coated and glossy stock, and even laminated pages. The glue is not "poured" into the spine, as with other brands of thermal covers, and so it will never seep out of the documents, and will also provide an even coating on every page.
  • Perfected Design - The Coverbind Accel Flex is a 3rd generation Bindomatic thermal binding machine that has been perfected over the years to provide the perfect desktop binding solution for offices.
  • Attractive - The Accel Flex is a great looking machine, featuring a sleek all-black design.
  • Eco-Friendly - Coverbind covers are 100% recyclable.
  • Unbind - Use the Accel Flex to unbind thermal binding by reheating the spine making any edits and then rebinding.

“They brought the machine out for an on-site demo, set it up after we ordered, and trained our staff the same day. Two years in and it still runs like new.”

“When our binder went down during end-of-term reports, their technician was here the next morning with the part. That kind of local service is why we keep coming back.”
