The ROSBACK 203 Bindery System and RELIANT
318 SaddleBinder are fully automatic, medium to high-speed, heavy-duty saddle binders that
collate, stitch, 3-knife trim and deliver professionally finished booklets. Both systems
are the ideal choice for commercial printers, trade binderies, and in-plants who want to
cut their costs and increase their productivity.
These ROSBACK systems were designed for operator ease of
make-ready, operation, and change-over. No other saddle binding systems in their class
have such quick change-over...30 minutes or less for the experienced operator depending on
the job...and that means more profits!
Rosback 203 Bindery System and RELIANT 318 Saddle Binder
This time-tested design is backed by over a century of ROSBACK'S unmatched reputation for superior quality and guarantees
complete customer satisfaction.
The 203 and 318 do it all in-line; insert, saddle-stitch, and three-side trim multiple
signature saddle-stitched books and booklets from 8 pages (2 sheets) up to 3/8"
(approx. 120 pages). Variable speed ranges from 1800 to 5000 cycles per hour with average
production being up to 32,000 in an 8 hour day.
If you are a printer that prints multiple-signature impositions, folds sheets into
signatures (4, 8, 12, 16, or 32 pages), and collates, saddle-stitches, and 3-knife trims
them, and your runs range from 500 to 32,000 books per day - you can substantially build
your profits with either the ROSBACK 203 Bindery System or the
ROSBACK RELIANT 318 SaddleBinder.
