- Tray configuration: 1 high‑capacity elevator tray
- Maximum loading capacity: 610 mm
- Input paper size:
- Minimum: 12.0 × 21.0 cm
- Maximum: 36.4 × 52.5 cm
- Paper weights: 64 – 300 g/m² (fine and coated)
- Feeding system:
- Belt suction feed with elevator system
- Three‑side air separation
- Integrated static eliminator
- Control and quality features:
- Optical and ultrasonic double‑feed detection
- End‑mark detection (CCD sensor)
- Optional barcode reading
- Optional modules:
- Cover feeder (DSF‑CFL)
- Anti‑static bar kit
- Typical pairing: Duplo 700 / industrial booklet systems
Practical note:
DSF‑6000 is built for continuous production with very low reload frequency.
Duplo DSC‑10/60i Collator Towers
Specifications – maximum stability for long and repeatable runs
Collator towers are designed to build sets page‑by‑page, making them ideal for offset printing and standardised production.
Key specifications (per tower):
- Number of bins per tower: 10
- Maximum number of towers: up to 6 (60 bins total)
- Paper size range: A5 to A3+
- Bin loading capacity: approx. 60 mm per bin
- Maximum collating speed: up to 10,000 sets/hour (system‑dependent)
- Feeding method: suction feeding
- Detection features:
- Double‑feed detection
- Miss‑feed detection
- Typical pairing: Duplo 350 and especially Duplo 700
Practical note:
Collator towers excel in long, repetitive jobs where setup remains unchanged for extended periods.
Feeder vs Towers – Technical summary
| Feature | Sheet Feeder | Collator Towers |
|---|---|---|
| Feed principle | Pre‑collated sets | Page‑by‑page assembly |
| Best for | Digital printing | Offset printing |
| Job flexibility | Very high | Medium |
| Throughput stability | Medium | Very high |
| Reload frequency | Higher | Lower |
| Operator intervention | Low | Very low |
| Typical systems | 150 / 350 | 350 / 700 |
Final technical takeaway
- DSF‑2200 → flexibility, variable data, frequent job changes
- DSF‑6000 → speed, capacity, continuous production
- Collator towers (DSC‑10/60i) → stability and lowest cost per booklet in long runs
A Duplo system delivers maximum return only when the feeder and collating method match the real production profile — not just current volume, but future workflow evolution.
