The Horizon AC 8000S is a used book binder — sometimes referred to as a perfect binder or binding machine — designed to gather, collate, and bind printed sheets into finished book blocks. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press finishing equipment, supplying binderies, print shops, and commercial printers worldwide with machinery covering folding, cutting, collating, and binding operations.
According to the seller's notes, this particular unit is configured as an air suction collator with eight stations, making it well suited to assembling multi-section books or booklets by drawing sheets from individual bins and compiling them in sequence. The machine handles a format range from A5 (minimum 148 × 210 mm) up to A3 (maximum 318 × 470 mm), covering a broad spread of standard print sizes. Paper weight capacity runs from 23 to 210 g/m², accommodating everything from lightweight text stocks through to heavier cover-weight sheets.
Each bin accommodates a pile height of 10 cm, and the collator is equipped with missfeeding, double-feeding, and jamming control to maintain accuracy and reduce waste during production runs. An integrated jogger is built into the unit, and a jogger delivery system is included at the output end to ensure gathered sets are neatly aligned as they leave the machine.
At its rated capacity, the AC 8000S can achieve up to 2,400 cycles per hour, making it a capable performer for medium-to-high volume finishing environments. The machine is offered in used condition and is currently located in Germany.
