Sorting It Out With Collators

"You can program it to run from multiple sets of bins and auto-switch between them. This enables the operator to load one set while running from another, so the machine never stops, [and] you can run in both directions at once," Parker explains.

As with most finishing systems, collators can act as stand-alone devices or may be arranged in-line with complementary units. For example, at the Janie Scott Printing and Production Center, the Horizon collator has been configured in-line with two finishing components.
