Investor|COM, an investor communication solutions company, has installed a Standard/Horizon HOF-400 with SPF/FC-200A, high-speed Sheet Feeder and Booklet-Making System at its Brantford, Ontario location. Purchased from KBR Graphics, the Canadian distributor for Standard/Horizon Finishing products, it was the second complete automated system purchased since 2014. Investor|COM added this second high-speed sheet feeder and booklet maker to its previous investment of a Standard/Horizon Stitchliner 5500 with HOF-400. “The simple-to-use automation makes it easy to operate, and the non-stop production helps Inverstor|COM keep up with increased production demands,” said Steve Klaric, Sales Manager at KBR Graphics. “Their first high quality, reliable booklets system had surpassed their expectations – and it was a straightforward decision for them to expand with a second system.”
The HOF-400 is a high-speed sheet feeder and was configured to run inline with the Standard/Horizon SPF/FC-200A Booklet-Making System. Variable page count production can be handled with integrity and verification using the standard mark reader, which the operator can quickly change between top and bottom reading for different applications. The HOF-400 can feed up to 45,000 sheets per hour (8.5″ x 11″) and can accommodate a maximum sheet size of 14″ x 24″. Its 7″ colour touchscreen monitor allows for easy and intuitive set-up. The system can also accommodate sheet feeding, cover feeding, accumulating, and manual feeding depending on the job requirements. The SPF/FC-200A is a high-performance inline booklet-making system with collating, stitching, folding and fore-edge trimming. Outputting up to 4,500 books per hour, it features 200-program job memory storage for instant recall, and an icon-based touchscreen for fast and easy job set-up.
