Highlight of the International Muller Martini Open House in Felben: the new 3697 gathering machine.

This new solution stands out thanks to its innovative signature separation, which involves the signatures being peeled off the stack and securely fed out in a concave raceway. Combined with short setup times, high operating output and maximum feeder flexibility, it opens up new dimensions in shift output with offset and gravure products. The 3697 gathering machine will be demonstrated under production conditions in a line with the Corona C18 perfect binder. With this combination, Muller Martini promises the market a high-performance perfect binding line that is unsurpassed in terms of performance and quality.

Innovation prize for 3697 gathering machine
It is a well-known fact that a sheet of paper becomes more stable if it is bent. Muller Martini takes advantage of this in the separation process in the feeder and raceway of the new gathering machine. This gives you improved processing reliability and makes a higher production output possible. The ingenuity of this new, revolutionary separation system has also been recognized by the experts. The German printing industry recently awarded the 3697 gathering machine with an Innovation Prize in the print finishing category, which effectively serves to underscore this ingenuity.
