Comparing the CoilMac ECI & CoilMac ECI Plus Spiral Binding Machines

Customers frequently approach us requesting the true differences between the Akiles CoilMac ECI and the CoilMac ECI Plus; this article will review both binding machine models, their advantages, and their limitations. Both CoilMac machines punch and bind Spiral Binding Plastic Coil, a flexible and durable biding method utilized by a variety of businesses, organizations, schools, restaurants, and homes.

Both Models Feature: With the most complete system of functions and a built-in electric coil inserter, the Akiles CoilMac-ECI Series is in a class all to itself. The CoilMac-ECI makes Spiral Binding fast & easy, and that's why we have dubbed it as the ideal partner for mid-volume workloads in office environments.

The CoilMac ECI features five die disengagement pins that allow for a clean punch with multiple paper sizes. This feature is ideal for those who will be punching any sheet size other than letter, as it allows you to control how many holes you page has, giving you the capability to eliminate half of a hole punch on the end of your sheet. The punching margin control provides the correct punch-margin-depth for each spiral binding coil size while maximizing the document's tear resistance. The deeper set the holes are, the stronger the bind will be. The open punching throat and continuous punching guide allow for an easy alignment and punching of documents larger that 13". The electric spiral binding coil inserter is foot pedal operated, allowing the free use of both hands and granting the operator complete rotating control of the roller. This drastically reduces time and costs by making the inserting surprisingly fast and easy. The CoilMac ECI series binding machines will punch through up to 20 sheets of 20 lb. paper, and will bind as many as 290 sheets of 20 lb. paper using the 32mm plastic spiral coils. The CoilMac ECI includes a Spiral Binding Diameter Guide as well as a pair of our Cutter Crimper Pliers, making this unit a full finishing solution.

Plus Model Unique Features: The Coilmac ECI Plus features all of the above specifications; however, its slight punching difference makes Spiral Binding 50% faster & much easier! The ECI+ features 4mm x 5mm OVAL holes that make the coil insertion process easier & faster than ever before. Because a Plastic Spiral Binding Coil is a continuous spiral, the oval holes provide a clear path for the coil as it is inserted into the book. No more struggling over coil that is caught on a sheet in your book! The Akiles "Plus" machines are the first & only pieces of equipment in their class to offer this advanced feature. Scroll down for a real-life diagram of the hole patterns. Another difference between the CoilMac ECI and the CoilMac ECI+ is the disengageable pins. While the ECI features 5 removable pins, the ECI+ has 54 fully disengageable pins, for a completely clean & professional punching of any paper size. The revolutionary 4:1 pitch with .248" hole spacing is specifically designed to give you 44 evenly-centered holes in an 11" sheet, which provides the most ideal hole to edge-of-sheet margins and easier coil insertion. This hole pattern is 100% compatible with the standard 4:1 pitch coils.
