150 Booklet System

Precision Bookletmaking for Shorter Runs

The 150 Booklet System is Duplo’s entry-level solution, integrating the heavy-duty DSC-10/60i Suction Collator with the compact DBM-150 Bookletmaker. Add professional bookletmaking to your growing list of services and get it done inhouse. Ideal for low to mid-volume runs, the 150 Booklet System delivers a variety of offset and digitally printed applications, from manuals and catalogs to corporate reports and collated work, at a maximum speed of 2,400 booklets per hour.

Automated Settings & Changeovers

Finish your jobs with ease and efficiency. Using the LCD control panel on the DBM-150 Bookletmaker, you can quickly program jobs and make fine-tune adjustments. Simply select or enter a custom paper size and the bookletmaker will automatically set the staple, fold, and trim setting. The distance between the staples can be adjusted with minimal operator intervention.

Use the built-in memory to save up to 16 of your most common jobs and retrieve them as needed. Changeovers from one size to another are performed within minutes and little tooling required.

The Collator Advantage

With the ability to process output from multiple presses and finish booklets at faster speeds than in-line systems, off-line collating provides the flexibility to do more.

The DSC-10/60i incorporates Duplo’s signature air suction belt feeder and air management system, making it one of the most reliable collators in the industry. Each of its 10 bins comes equipped with fine adjustments and patented dual fan technology that generates a steady flow of air for separation and feeding. The collator detects which bins are loaded.

High resolution sensors are located in each bin to detect any misfeeds and double feeds. The preset function automatically calibrates the sensors to allow the feeding of different paper types and weights. Any faulty sets are diverted into a reject tray and can be re-inserted into the hand-marry station. When a bin empties, the collator can switch to the next programmed tower for non-stop productivity.

Precision Booklet Making

Automating the bookletmaking process means less downtime and more productivity. The DBM-150/T integrates the stapler, folder, and face trimmer into a compact system — eliminating the task of setting and folding signatures separately.

As each set is collated and jogged into alignment, the system guides it through the stapling and folding sections. Booklets are trimmed at the fore edge for a clean finish. Collated sets can also be manually fed directly into the bookletmaker. No additional kits are required and staple cartridges are easy to replace when needed.

The 150 Booklet System performs saddle and corner/ side stapling up to 25 sheets for a variety of booklet applications.

Square Back Option

It’s the finishing touch in professional bookletmaking. Squared back booklets lay flat, keep pages secured, and make packing and shipping more efficient. Create value-added booklets with a perfect bound look using the optional DSS-350 Square Spine module. Simply place it near your system and hand feed your booklets as they are being finished.

Stacking Option

Configure your system with the DBM-400STR Deep Pile Stacker for collating jobs. The DBM-400STR offers a high capacity option for straight and offset stacking. Placed at the right side of the collator, the DBM-400STR can process up to 9,800 sets per hour.
