Installations and investments INVESTORCOM IMPROVES BINDERY OPERATIONS WITH STANDARD/HORIZON FINISHING SYSTEM FROM KBR GRAPHICS InvestorCom, an investor communication solutions company, is the new owner of a Standard/Horizon HOF-400 with SPF/FC-200A high-speed sheet feeder and bookletmaking system at its Brantford, Ontario, location from KBR Graphics, the Canadian distributor for Standard/Horizon finishing systems. The firm added this second high-speed sheet feeder and bookletmaker to its previous investment of a Standard/Horizon Stitchliner 5500 with HOF-400. “The simple-to-use automation makes it easy to operate, and the non-stop production will help InverstorCom keep up with increased production demands,” said Steve Klaric, sales manager at KBR Graphics. “Their first high- quality, reliable booklets system had surpassed their expectations – and it was a straightforward decision for them to expand with a second system.” The HOF-400 is a high-speed sheet feeder and was configured to run inline with the Standard/Horizon SPF/FC-200A bookletmaking system. It can feed up to 45,000 sheets per hour (8.5" x 11") and can accommodate a maximum sheet size of 14" x 24". The system can also accommodate sheet feeding, cov- er feeding, accumulating, and manual feeding, depending on the job requirements. The SPF/FC-200A is a high-performance inline bookletmaking system with collating, stitching, folding and fore-edge trimming
