This FKS Duplo System 5 Book Binder is a book binding machine — sometimes referred to as a booklet maker or saddle stitcher system — used for the automated production of bound and trimmed booklets, brochures, and similar printed collateral. FKS is a recognised name in print finishing and document handling equipment, producing integrated binding and collating solutions for the commercial printing and reprographics industries.
This particular machine is a complete, multi-component inline binding line dating from 2006 and is offered used from Germany. At its core is a tower collating unit with ten stations, equipped with a DC 10/60 suction air system and a Duplo 5000 touch-control interface, allowing precise management of sheet feeding and collation across the full station count. A retrieval shaker is installed to the right of the tower, assisting in the clean and consistent delivery of gathered sets. An LS1 transfer bridge connects the collating tower to the downstream binding and finishing components, forming a continuous inline workflow.
The binding section comprises a DBM-400 Booklet Maker fitted with two Hohner stitching heads, model 48/5 S, providing saddle-stitched binding of collated booklet blocks. Trimming is handled by a dedicated DBM-400 Trimmer unit positioned after the stitcher, squaring the finished booklets to a clean final format. Output is managed by a DBM-LS long shed delivery, accommodating the stacking and removal of completed booklets at the end of the line.
The machine is located in Germany and is available as a configured, multi-station inline system ready for inspection.
