James Burn EB3500 Wire Closer

The James Burn EB3500 is an electric wire closer built for production Wire-O binding, squeezing inserted double-loop wire to a clean, consistent finished spine. It is the closing stage in a James Burn punch-and-bind line: punch the sheets, hang the wire, insert the book, then close it on the EB3500. Mid-State Litho is an authorized James Burn International dealer serving Michigan and the Great Lakes region, and we supply the EB3500 as a delivered, installed, and supported machine. For shops producing calendars, notebooks, manuals, and presentation books at volume, an electric closer removes the bottleneck and inconsistency of manual closing, protecting both throughput and finished-book quality.

James Burn International Authorized Dealer

Mid-State Litho is an authorized James Burn International dealer, so the EB3500 arrives as a genuine James Burn machine backed by factory-trained service, not an aftermarket substitute. James Burn International is a long-established name in Wire-O and twin-loop wire binding, and the EB3500 is the electric closing stage in that ecosystem: the unit that closes inserted double-loop wire to its finished diameter after the book is punched and the wire is inserted. The EB3500 is built in France and runs as an electric closer. Review the manufacturer reference at jamesburn.com, and we will help match it to the punches and binders already on your floor.

Where the EB3500 Fits in a Wire-O Binding Line

Wire-O bookwork runs in four stages: punch, hang, insert, close. The sheets are punched, double-loop wire is hung on the book, the book is inserted into the wire, and the wire is then closed to its finished diameter. The EB3500 is the closing stage, not a standalone binder. It pairs with James Burn punches such as the DocuPunch Plus and EasyPunch automatic paper punches on the punch step, the James Burn WOB-series binders on the insert step, and accessories like the WOB3000/3500 reception conveyor and hanger feeders that keep a production line moving. If you are building or upgrading a punch-and-bind line, talk to us about the EB3500 alongside the binder and punch that match your book sizes and volume.
