So in December the in-plant installed the system, which includes the DSC 10/60i suction collator and the DBM-500 Pro booklet maker. With two 10-bin towers, it produces saddle-, side- or corner-stitched products at speeds up to 5,000 booklets per hour.
Hohman was most impressed with the device's eight-belt air suction feed system and air management system. Each bin comes with two fans, one to separate pages, the other to generate consistent suction. Feeding was a constant problem with the shop's previous machine, she says.
