The Horizon VAC-100M is a book binder — also commonly referred to as a collating tower or gathering system — used in commercial print finishing to automatically gather, collate, and organise sheets into ordered sets ready for binding. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of print finishing equipment, producing machinery for bookbinding, folding, cutting, and saddle-stitching that is widely used across commercial print shops and binderies worldwide.
This unit is a suction-and-blowing-air collating tower operating on Horizon's Touch & Work interface, with ten collating stations. It supports a job memory of nine stored programmes for repeat work, and accepts a range of programme types including double-cycle non-stop operation, single- and double-fold insertion, booklet, block, and selective collating modes. Missing-sheet, double-sheet, and jam controls provide error prevention throughout the run. The tower is also expandable: up to six towers can be linked together, giving a maximum configuration of sixty collating stations.
Sheet format ranges from a minimum of 148 × 120 mm up to a maximum of 500 × 350 mm, and the machine handles paper weights between 40 and 250 gsm. Each station has a loading capacity of 55 mm. Output reaches up to 9,500 sets per hour. Power requirements are 230 V at 50/60 Hz, with a consumption of 1.86 kW. The machine measures 842 × 652 × 1,961 mm and weighs 310 kg.
This is a used example manufactured in 2009, located in Germany, and offered with a three-month warranty.
