Horizon AC-8000 S Air Suction Collator (1991)

The Horizon AC-8000 S is a high-performance air suction collator developed for commercial print finishing operations requiring reliable and accurate sheet gathering. Equipped with eight feeding bins, the machine automatically collates signatures before booklet making, perfect binding, folding, or other finishing processes.

Its air suction feeding system provides smooth sheet handling across a wide range of paper weights, while built-in sensors detect double feeds, misfeeds, and paper jams to minimize production interruptions.
