Fore edge trimming machine | Eletta

Eletta is a fore edge trimming machine for books and magazines with lateral flap book covers. The Eletta is generally positioned inline on the perfect binding line, before the three knife trimmer. The book covers are opened horizontally with suction cups. The book is registered at the stop clamp position and trimmed using an oblique scissor movement.

Due to the simplicity of the Eletta machine a wide variety of books can be undertaken, such as: stitched and perfect bound books, magazines, etc. Very important, the machine can work as a standalone machine as well as in-line with the perfect binding.
