The Horizon CCR is a book binder — specifically a criss cross delivery unit used in booklet and book block production. Book binding equipment of this kind handles the collating, gathering, and finishing of printed signatures into finished bound products, and Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press and print finishing machinery, supplying binderies, commercial printers, and in-plant print operations worldwide with equipment ranging from folding machines and perfect binders to saddle stitchers and trimmers.
This particular unit functions as a criss cross delivery system, a component used within booklet production lines to arrange completed book blocks in an alternating, offset stack pattern. By rotating successive booklets in opposite orientations before stacking, the system compensates for the natural thickness variation between the spine edge and the open edge of each booklet, resulting in a stable, level pile that is easier to handle, separate, and visually inspect downstream. This arrangement also improves stability in the finished stack and supports efficient post-processing at subsequent finishing stages.
The machine is offered in used condition and is located in Germany. The seller notes that while the model is older, the criss cross delivery principle it employs remains a relevant and practical feature in contemporary booklet production workflows.
