About this machine
This Horizon ST-5500 is a saddle stitcher — sometimes called a saddle stapler — a bindery machine used to collate, stitch, fold, and trim multi-page signatures into finished booklets, catalogues, brochures, and magazines. Horizon is a well-established manufacturer of finishing and bindery equipment, supplying print shops, commercial printers, and in-plant facilities with automated solutions for high-volume booklet production.
This is a 2011 used machine located in France, and it is configured as a substantial, multi-component inline system rather than a compact standalone unit.
The gathering section comprises five feeder towers built from a combination of units: one VAC-60A, one 60L, two 600M, and one 60C model, collectively providing 30 collating stations. This capacity allows the system to gather and assemble booklets with a significant number of pages in a single pass. The towers feed into a SA-40 transfer unit paired with an ST-40 semi-high pile stacker, which handles the output at the infeed end of the line.
The collating and creasing function is handled by an AFC-30S unit equipped with Hohner stitching heads, a well-regarded choice for consistent wire stitching. The SPF-30S unit performs the stitching and folding operations, bringing the gathered and creased signatures together into bound, folded booklets. Final trimming is carried out by the HTS-30S trimmer, which cuts the three open edges of each booklet to a clean, finished size. A TB-30 conveyor completes the line, transporting finished booklets away from the trimmer.
The overall configuration represents a complete, integrated saddle-stitching production line capable of taking loose signatures from the feeders through to trimmed, finished booklets in a continuous automated workflow.
