The Duplo 150 Digital Booklet Maker System is the combination of the world’s smallest fully automatic booklet maker, the DBM150, with the new generation DSF-2200 Sheet Feeder. It is an ideal near-line solution for low to mid-volume digitally printed sheets. Configured to meet the ever-changing demands of today’s digital printer. Designed to take the printed output from multiple sources. Duplo has bundled the features of the big booklet makers into this uniquely compact system.

Built around the DSF-2200, a heavy-duty sheet feeding system. Providing the user with the power, reliability and flexibility to handle a wide range of materials with consistent results. Equipped with an 8 belt feeding mechanism which enables the feed head to make contact with a large area of the sheet. Each bin comes with three separate DC fans, one to provide suction for feeding, another to provide front air separation and a final one to provide side air. Combined they ensure optimal paper separation and reliable feeding. The Duplo AMS (Air Management System) allows the operator to fine tune air control for each feed tray.

A PC Controller manages the system. This automatically sets up jobs within a few seconds without the need for any tools. The operator can create and save jobs with ease for future recall. State of the art Ultrasonic Technology comes as standard. The ultrasonic sensor detects air gaps between the sheets when a double feed occurs, regardless of ink colour or paper density. This enables the operator to feed different paper weights within the same job.

Integrates the Duplo DBM150T

To the left is the DBM-150 Booklet maker and Trimmer. A compact integrated system that sets up automatically from job memories to staple, fold and fore-edge trim to create a booklet or flat document. A wide variety of booklet formats from smaller-than-CD to A4 portrait finished size are possible. Easy change cartridges in the staple heads make for easy reloading. Optional loop stapling, to form ring staples suitable of filing, are also available. The 150 trimmer is fully automatic and is programmed from the PC Controller. The operator can adjust the trimming position both positively and negatively from 1 to 20mm.

Integrity & Security

The system can be equipped with features like Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) and optional Barcode Kits that can read 1D and 2D barcodes. The kit comprises of two readers for each feed tray and is designed to check the integrity of each set by reading a printed barcode on each sheet that is processed. Securing the production process and guaranteeing an accurate result. These features are especially important for personalised and variable production.
