Trying to find a coil inserter for an office or print shop can be a daunting task, but with the right information it’s possible to find one that’s just right. There are many different coil inserters to choose from that are better-suited for different tasks. Some of the most important features for choosing a coil inserter include the following:
Foot Pedal Control – A quality spiral coil inserter should offer foot pedal control. This feature allows the user to hold the book with both hands, all while inserting the coil. This makes it much easier for the coils to spin effortlessly across the entire book.
Number of Rollers – There are either one or two rolling movers that come in any coil inserter. Most people report that the coil inserters with two rollers are easier to use than the single-roller models, but the Tamerica Duracoil EL is the exception. It has a large grooved single roller and Teflon coated plate, making it just as simple to use as the majority of double-roller spiral coil inserters. Not all double-roller models are the same, though. Some of them have one stationary roller and one moving roller. Double-roller spiral coil inserters should have dual spinning rollers to work the most efficiently.
Roller Spacing – It is important to find coil inserters that can adjust and gap the rollers, which makes it possible to use rollers with large diameter coils. Two examples of this are the GBC CC2700 Coil Inserter and the Rhino Tuff HD4170. These both include adjustable rollers, making them easier to use with larger diameter coils. None of the coil inserters that are currently available are very good at inserting coil on documents greater than 30mm, though. These typically have to be inserted by hand, which is a far lengthier process compared to using the automatic inserter.
Spine Former – A great deal of the spiral coil inserters on the market have a cupped area on the top so the user can curve the spine of the book to match the curve of the coil being inserted. This is especially important when inserting larger diameter coils. For extremely large books, though, the EZ book former may be necessary to help hold the book in place while inserting the larger coils.
These are just a few guidelines for choosing a coil inserter, and the Tamerica Duracoil EL should definitely not be ruled out. The Duracoil EL has a very different design from most of the double-roller coil inserters on the market, with a Teflon coated bottom plate and large grooved rubber roller. It is designed for inserting both large and small coils, and has a stop at the end of the inserter to prevent coils from spinning back off the book. It may not conform to some of the criteria mentioned here, but is still definitely worth the consideration.
