About this machine
The Horizon VAC-100 is a saddle stitcher — sometimes referred to as a saddle stapler — a bindery machine used to collate, stitch, and trim booklets, brochures, catalogues, and similar folded-and-stapled publications. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press finishing equipment, supplying bookbinding, folding, cutting, and stitching machinery to commercial printers and print finishing operations worldwide.
This machine is configured as a collator-based saddle stitching line, built around 20 collating stations, giving it the capacity to gather and stitch booklets with a significant number of signatures or inserts in a single pass. It handles a maximum format of A3, making it suitable for producing booklets up to A4 finished size — a standard output format for catalogues, magazines, and corporate publications.
The line incorporates the SPF-10II stitching and folding unit, which handles the core binding operation — driving wire staples through the spine of the gathered sections and folding the booklet to its finished form. A front trimmer, identified as the FC-10II, is also included, trimming the open edges of the stitched and folded booklet to produce a clean, square finish. Together, these units form a complete inline saddle stitching and trimming system.
In terms of throughput, the machine is rated at 40,000 copies per hour, reflecting the high-cycle production capacity typical of equipment of this configuration. The machine carries the serial number 64025, was manufactured in 1998, and is offered in used condition from a location in Germany.
