The Horizon SPF 30 is a book binder — also known as a booklet maker or saddle-stitching system — designed to take collated sheets and produce finished, trimmed booklets in a single automated workflow. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press finishing equipment, supplying commercial printers, in-plant print rooms, and publishing operations with high-quality bindery and finishing solutions.
This machine handles a maximum sheet size of 50 × 35 cm (19 × 13 inches) and a minimum of 148 × 199 mm, giving it a broad format range suitable for a wide variety of booklet formats. Paper weight compatibility runs from 64 to 210 gsm for uncoated stocks and from 80 to 210 gsm for coated papers, making the system well suited to both standard and premium publication work.
The listing includes a full inline system rather than the stitcher alone. Feeding and gathering is handled by three Horizon VAC-60Ha vacuum collating towers, which draw and sequence sheets automatically. Collated sets pass into the Horizon ACF-30 accumulator and folder, which assembles and creases the booklet block before it reaches the Horizon SPF-30 saddle stitcher for wire binding. Finished stitched booklets then move to the Horizon HTS-30 trimmer, which cuts the fore-edge to produce a clean, squared finish. Output is received by the Horizon ST-40 stacker receiving tray, completing the inline flow from loose sheets to finished booklet.
The machine is described as currently in production and is offered on an as-is, where-is basis, with availability indicated from June 2025. It is located in France. The dealer reference for this listing is A7622.
