Booklet collection bin

The finished 'squared' booklets are then delivered into a simple collection bin BCB-100 or onto an optional 1.2m long horizontal delivery conveyor MS-45 DC, or directly into the booklet stacker BSS-10.

The ARSD-S-100 may be supplied with manual or automatic adjustment for changes in booklet thickness.

The ARSD-S-100 is twice as fast, much more robust and can handle a booklet of double the thickness, compared with the lower-cost spine squarer option SM-101.
