The Duplo DFC-120 is a high spec 12-station friction collator with the ability
to work standalone or as part of an collating/booklet making system. It is also
able to connect to another DFC-120 tower yielding a 24-station collating system
or with Duplo's DBM-120 booklet maker to create 80-page booklets.
Simple to Operate
For the most straightforward of jobs, just place the
required number of sheets into the bins, choose the collating mode (offset or
straight stacked) and away you go. A total counter will record the number of
sets collated or you can input the number of sets required and the machine will
count-down.
On-the-Run Loading
'Alternative Mode' enables the collating stations to
be paired-up. This means two stations can be loaded with the same sheet so that
when one is exhausted, the collator will automatically switch to the other
station allowing the machine to run without stopping for maximum productivity.
The empty tray can be loaded on-the-run.
Offset or Straight Stacking
The collator's built-in stacking tray has two
modes - straight or offset. In offset mode, each set is placed out-of-line with
the previous set to enable the operator to easily identify and separate complete
sets. In straight stack mode, the end result is a well knocked up block of sets.
Reliable Feed Mechanism
The DFC-series collators use three perpendicular
rubber feed wheels to take sheets into the machine. This ensures the collators
can grip all across the leading edge of the sheet to guarantee feeding of all
sheet sizes from A5-A3.
Modular
DFC-series collators can be connected together allowing a configuration of
either 10,12,20 or 24 stations. This means that as workloads change it is
possible to upgrade to a 2-tower system by simply adding another tower and not
buying a whole new collating system.
