The Horizon VAC-60HA is a used book binder — sometimes referred to as a collator or gathering machine — designed for professional print finishing environments. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press and print finishing equipment, producing machinery for commercial print shops, binderies, and in-plant production facilities worldwide.
This machine is a modular air-suction collating tower configured with six feeding stations in a single tower. The design is expandable, allowing up to six towers to be joined together for a total of 36 stations, making it suitable for both smaller runs and high-volume production environments. Feeding is handled by Horizon's air-suction system, which delivers consistent and reliable sheet separation across a range of paper types and weights.
Paper handling covers sheet sizes from 148 × 120 mm up to 500 × 350 mm, and the machine accepts paper weights between 40 and 250 g/m². At full production speed, the VAC-60HA can process up to 9,500 sets per hour, with actual throughput depending on paper size and job configuration. Operation is managed through Horizon's "Touch & Work" interface, and the machine includes nine memory slots for storing recurring job settings, reducing setup time on repeat work.
Error control is built into the feeding system, with detection for misfeeds, double feeds, and jams to maintain accuracy throughout the run. Each station has a loading height of 130 mm.
The machine's physical dimensions are 842 × 652 × 1,961 mm and it weighs 310 kg. Power requirements are 230 V at 50/60 Hz with a consumption of 1.86 kW. This unit is located in Germany and is offered in used condition.
