GAE to launch Horizon folder at open house events

Graphic Arts Equipment (GAE) is to hold a series of open house days to showcase its range of finishing kit, including the UK launch of Horizon's B2 combination folding system.

The kit supplier will show off the fully automated AFC564F folder during the three-day event, which features a 15-second set-up time, 14 standard fold patterns and on-board 200-job memory store.

The Horizon line-up also includes the BQ270jdf automated single-clamp binder, the seven-clamp SB-07jdf and the four-clamp BQ470jdf with PUR glue option.

Also on show will be the HT30 robotic three-side trimmer, the SPF200A automated booklet production line and StitchLiner saddlestitching system.

In addition to equipment from Perfecta, Renz and Lasermax, visitors will be able to learn more about PUR perfect binding.

GAE joint managing director Bryan Godwyn called the introduction of automated finishing processes an area "where commercial and in-plant operations can improve their performance and reduce costs".

The open week will take place on 5-7 February at GAE's Perivale showroom.
