About this machine
The Horizon SL 5500 is a saddle stitcher — sometimes referred to as a saddle stapler — a finishing machine used in commercial print production to collate, stitch, and trim folded booklets, brochures, catalogues, and similar bound publications. Horizon is a well-established name in the printing and print-finishing industry, producing a broad range of bindery and finishing equipment for commercial printers and trade finishers worldwide.
This used example, built in 2006 and currently located in Germany, is offered as a configured line rather than a standalone unit. The gathering section comprises four VAC 60 pocket towers — one automatic (VAC 60a) and three manual (VAC 60m) — providing four pockets for collating signatures. The line also includes an ST 40 stitching head unit, a Horizon ASF 30 automatic sheet feeder, and an SPF 30 cover feeder, enabling automated cover insertion as part of the inline workflow. Finished booklets pass through a Horizon HTC 30 three-knife trimmer, which squares the block to final dimensions. The combination of gathering towers, feeder, stitcher, and trimmer represents a complete inline saddle-stitching system capable of taking loose signatures through to trimmed, finished booklets in a single pass.
A notable detail recorded by the seller is a counter reading of just 14.2 million cycles, which is a relatively modest figure for a machine of this type and age and gives an indication of the production history of this line.
