Automatic hotmelt section gluing machine
mitablock PRO - automatic hot melt section gluing machine
The mitablock PRO is a fully automatic layflat hotmelt section gluing machine designed especially for the production of high-quality layflat book blocks in short to medium-runs. Thanks to the high degree of automation with simple format setup times, ease of operation and comparatively low complexity with good manageability, it achieves a unique position in the layflat book-on-demand sector in the medium speed range (up to 1’700 gluings/h).
