Duplo Twin Tower Collator

• A collator is a machine that takes multiple stacks of printed sheets and assembles them into a complete set in the correct order.
• The “Twin Tower” design means it has two vertical towers, each with multiple bins (often 10 bins per tower), allowing it to handle up to 20 different sheets or pages.
• Sheets are fed from each bin and stacked in sequence to form a complete set or booklet.

Key features:

• High-speed and reliable collation
• Can run in various modes: single tower, dual tower, or alternate feeding
• Handles a range of paper sizes and weights
• Includes sensors to detect doubles, misfeeds, or jams

📘 2. Bookletmaker (e.g., Duplo DBM series)

• Once the sheets are collated, they’re passed to the bookletmaker, which performs:
• Folding (usually a single center fold)
• Stapling (usually 2 wire staples along the spine)
• Trimming (optional front trimming for a clean edge)

Key features:

• Creates professional-looking saddle-stitched booklets
• Adjustable settings for different sizes and thicknesses
• Can be linked directly with the collator for a seamless workflow
