subject: Four Great Thermal Binding Machines From Fellowes [print this page] Thermal binding machines are great devices to use if you need to create documents that resemble professionally bound hardback and softcover books. Some of the best thermal binders on the market are created by Fellowes. Here are four of their great products.
1.) The TB450. If you frequently bind very thick documents, this is the device for you. The TB 450 can bind books that are up to two inches thick and contain up to 700 pages. Each device has an adjustable cooling rack, clamps inside the device to hold your document as its being bound, and a lightning-fast warm-up time of three minutes. It has three pre-set binding cycles that run 30, 45, and 60 seconds in length. Selecting your cycle is easy - just press the appropriate button. The TB450 comes with a one-year warranty and is durable enough to stand up to daily use.
2.) The TB250. The TB250 is essentially a smaller version of the TB450 and is recommended for weekly use. It can bind books that are one inch thick or less and contain about 300 pages. It has one 30-second binding cycle and heats up in three minutes. It will shut off automatically after a period of non-use. The TB250 has a cover selector guide printed on it so choosing the appropriate cover for your document will be a no-brainer. This device comes with a great two-year warranty and is ideal for both the home and office.
3.) The Helios 30. This is one of Fellowes' newest products and it's perfect for medium-duty applications. Like the TB250, it can bind books that have a maximum of 300 pages and it has a 30-second binding cycle. It will warm up in four short minutes and a light will flick on when it's ready for use. The Helios 30 is equipped with Fellowes' thoughtful HeatShield feature that keeps the heat inside the device where it belongs. This is a really well-designed machine that looks extremely modern and it can fold up for easy storage. It's protected by a two-year warranty.
4.) The Helios 60. Finally, if you want the ultimate Fellowes thermal binder, the Helios 60 is the device you must get. It's perfect for daily use and can bind 600-page documents. The Helios 60 has a four-minute warm-up time and it has binding cycles that run from one to three minutes. The cycle is chosen automatically when you insert your document(s) into the device thanks to an automatic document thickness detector. This makes it incredibly easy to use, as well as technologically advanced. Like the Helios 30, this machine has a HeatShield that makes it safe to use. Plus, it will shut off automatically when not in use to reduce the risk of fire and overheating. This device also folds up and is covered by two-year warranty.
Finally, these machines all come with binding starter packs that will enable you to use your new device the day you get it. If you need a high-quality thermal binding system, make it one from Fellowes so you can enjoy producing great-looking documents
