The Duplo System 5000 is a saddle stitcher — sometimes called a booklet maker — a complete inline finishing system used to collate, stitch, fold, press, and trim printed sheets into finished saddle-stitched booklets. Duplo is a well-established manufacturer of print finishing equipment, producing machinery for commercial printers, in-plant print rooms, and digital print environments worldwide.
This machine was manufactured in 2008 and carries serial number . The counter reads 7.6 million folds and stitches, reflecting a working production history. The system is located in Germany and is offered in used condition.
The line is built around the DC-10/60 air suction collator, configured with two towers of ten stations each, giving a total of twenty feeding stations. This unit accepts sheets from a minimum of 120 mm × 148 mm up to a maximum of 350 mm × 500 mm, and handles paper weights ranging from 40 to 300 gsm. Each station has an infeed stack height of 60 mm. The collator is rated for a maximum throughput of 5,000 finished products per hour.
Stitching and folding are performed by the DBM 500 booklet maker unit, which is equipped with two Hohner 48/5S universal stitching heads. The DBM 500 accepts a minimum sheet size of 120 mm × 170 mm and a maximum of 350 mm × 500 mm. After stitching and folding, finished booklets pass through the DBM 500-P pressing station, which squares and flattens the spine for a clean result.
The line also includes the DBM 500T front trimmer, which trims the open edge of each booklet to a uniform finish, along with the DBM-LS delivery belt for output stacking. A LUL-HM bridge lifting unit connects the modules, and a Rietschle compressor is included with the system to supply the air required for the suction feeders and stitching heads. This is a complete, self-contained booklet production line offered as a single lot.
