The Horizon PSX-56 is a used book binder — sometimes referred to as a booklet finisher — dating from 2017 and currently located in Germany. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press and print finishing equipment, supplying bindery, folding, cutting, and saddle-stitching solutions to commercial printers and finishing operations worldwide.
Designed to connect inline with folders and saddle-stitchers, this machine functions as a high-pressure stacking and pressing unit that collects the incoming stream of finished products and consolidates them into manageable, evenly pressed packs. Its purpose is to allow fast-running upstream machines to operate at full capacity without creating a bottleneck at the output stage, thereby improving overall line productivity.
The pressing mechanism consists of three pairs of press rollers that apply a total pressure of 2 × 1,200 kg to the incoming products. This high clamping force compresses the booklets or folded sections firmly before stacking, ensuring a neat, stable result without surface marking. The machine is rated for a maximum throughput of 900 packs per hour, making it suitable for high-volume production environments.
In terms of format compatibility, the PSX-56 handles products ranging from a minimum sheet size of 128 × 92 mm up to a maximum of 546 × 330 mm, covering a broad range of standard booklet and folded-product formats. The inlet height is adjustable between 440 mm and 1,000 mm, allowing the unit to be matched to the output height of a variety of inline feeding systems. Stacking height is a maximum of 200 mm per completed pack.
An integrated electronic control system automatically detects waste or reject sheets and ejects them before they can enter the stack, maintaining pack integrity without operator intervention. Dual-use operation is supported as standard, and the machine is described as self-running with centralised, straightforward controls designed for ergonomic, continuous operation including a standard non-stop control switch.
