Gathering machines are used in the production of both softcover and hardcover products. They provide reliable gathering of printed signatures into book blocks, which are then adhesive-bound or thread-sewn.
With an innovative signature separation, Muller Martini’s new high-performance 3697 gathering machine provides the paper with high stability – even at maximum production speeds. In order to achieve this objective, the signatures are peeled off, bent and transported into the concave raceway.
