The Plockmatic PBM-500 with RCT (Rotate Crease Trim) Module, Face Trimmer (PBM Trim Module), BookFold Module (also known as SquareFold), and Trim Waste Conveyor is a fully loaded, modular inline booklet making system built for mid- to high-volume production in commercial print shops, binderies, and on-demand environments—perfectly suited for Ricoh Pro digital presses.
Key features include:
- Booklet Capacity: Staples and folds up to 50 sheets (80 gsm / 20 lb bond), producing finished booklets of up to 200 pages

- Paper Weights: 64–350 gsm (up to 300 gsm standard, with some media supporting 350 gsm cover); handles uncoated, coated, and heavier stocks
- RCT Rotate Crease Trim Module (included): Rotates sheets for optimal feed/productivity, creases covers/center sheets to prevent spine cracking, and performs side (head/foot) bleed trimming (min 5+5 mm / 0.39", max 30+30 mm / 2.36" per side, asymmetrical supported); enables full-bleed booklets when combined with downstream trimmer
- Face Trimmer Module (included): Fore-edge trimming to eliminate "shingle" effect on thicker booklets (min 1 mm / 0.039", max 16–25 mm / 0.63–0.98" adjustable in 0.5 mm steps; supports multi-cut for extreme reductions down to ~105 mm booklet length)
- BookFold Module (included): Squarefolds the spine for a flatter, more professional appearance with printable spine (mimics perfect-bound look); ideal for 6–30+ sheet booklets on thicker stocks
- Trim Waste Conveyor (included): Automatically conveys and collects trim waste from RCT and face trimmer into a large container for easy disposal and longer unattended runs
- Operation: Maintains print engine-rated speed; patented folding for sharp creases; maintenance-free staple heads (easy cartridge replacement); touchscreen interface with job storage (up to 25 programs), automated setup/recall, and job recovery
- Ricoh Compatibility: Fully integrated inline with Ricoh Pro series (e.g., Pro C7100/C7200, C9100/C9200, 8100/8200, and later models like C8300 via SR5110 interface); seamless docking and high productivity
- Additional Specs: Robust construction (base ~148–327 lbs, plus module weights); power 100–230V, 50–60Hz; designed for full-bleed, square-spine saddle-stitched booklets with excellent registration and professional finishing
This premium configuration delivers top-tier, full-bleed trimmed, creased, square-spine booklets with clean edges and waste management—ideal for brochures, catalogs, manuals, newsletters, photobooks, and medium-run jobs without offline processing. Originally a high-end modular setup (often $30,000–$60,000+ new with these options), it's a feature-rich, reliable workhorse for Ricoh-integrated finishing.
Perfect for print pros seeking automated, professional booklet production with bleed, squarefold, face trim, and efficient waste handling! Unit is used; please inspect or request additional photos/videos as needed. Local pickup in the St. Charles, MO area (or arrangements for shipping at buyer's expense).
