MBM FC10 Automatic Friction Collator

The MBM FC10 is a compact, high-speed 10-bin friction collator designed for automated set gathering across a wide range of paper stocks. With touch-button programming, reliable bin sensing, and output speeds up to 3,600 sets per hour, it’s a strong fit for short-run print environments, on-demand finishing lines, and offline set building for stitching and binding workflows.

Bins 10 friction-feed bins
Speed Up to 3,600 sets/hr*
Bin capacity Up to 275 sheets/bin*
Output Straight or criss-cross

Key Features

  • Automatic 10-bin friction feed supports reliable, repeatable set gathering
  • High-speed operation producing up to 3,600 sets per hour*
  • Straight or criss-cross stacking for organized output and easy downstream handling
  • Touch-button control panel with 4-digit LED counter for simple operation and batching
  • Adjustable feed and separator pressure to help tune performance across paper types
  • Bin sensors assist with feeding consistency and set integrity
  • Self-centering paper guides support quick alignment across a range of sheet sizes
  • Programmable batching supports repeat runs and unattended operation

Why It Matters

Collation time adds up fast on short runs and variable jobs. The FC10 automates set building with high speed, consistent feeding, and simple controls, helping reduce manual handling and operator fatigue. With straight or criss-cross stacking, finished sets are easier to verify, move, and feed into downstream processes.

Best used when: You need fast, accurate set gathering for bookletmaking, binding prep, packets, or mailers without dedicating a large footprint.
