This Heidelberg ST 100.1 is a book binder — sometimes referred to as a saddle stitcher or saddle stapler — a type of binding machine used to collate, stitch, and trim folded signatures into finished booklets, brochures, magazines, and catalogues. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing industry, manufacturing press and finishing equipment trusted by commercial printers and publishers worldwide.
Dating from 2000 and located in Germany, this machine is described by the seller as being in excellent condition with low usage. It is configured as a complete saddlestitching line built around the Stitchmaster ST 100.1, comprising a substantial number of feeding, stitching, and finishing stations.
The feeding section consists of one cover folder feeder (UFA), four double vertical feeders (DVA), and one hand-feed place, providing a flexible configuration for a variety of signature and cover stock combinations. The stitching unit is equipped with four stitching heads sized for wire in the 24 to 28 range, alongside two eyelet stitching heads, giving the line the ability to produce both standard wire-stitched and eyelet-bound booklets.
The trimmer has been fitted with a new centre cut, which allows two finished booklets to be produced simultaneously and supports small-format work — a meaningful productivity advantage for short-run or compact-format jobs. Output is handled by a long stream delivery. The machine also includes a pressure-vacuum pump as part of the system. The combination of a well-specified feeding section, dual-output trimming capability, and low reported usage makes this a comprehensively equipped saddle stitching line.
