The Müller Martini Frontero is a specialized face trimmer designed for the high-efficiency production of brochures with gate-folded covers in a single pass.

✅ One-pass efficiency – Cuts production time by integrating face trimming directly into the perfect binding process.
✅ High performance & output – Capable of processing products in two-up mode for double the production speed.
✅ Unmatched format flexibility – Supports A4 oblong brochures and even thick paperback books.

Brochures with flush or overhanging gate-folded covers are in high demand, offering added value and functionality for readers. Whether used for indexes, bookmarks, or additional advertising space, gate-folded covers enhance the appeal of print products.
With the Frontero face trimmer, publishers and printers can produce these niche products cost-effectively and at high speed. The patented operating principle ensures precise alignment and trimming while maintaining product integrity.
1️⃣ The bound brochure is aligned while the cover is lifted and pulled back using suction.
2️⃣ A pressing bar compresses the book block, preparing it for trimming.
3️⃣ The face trim is performed, and the cover is released to return to its original position.
The upper and lower suction rows can be activated separately, enabling the processing of books with a single flap (either front or back).
The Müller Martini Frontero can be easily added to existing perfect binding lines, sitting directly after the binder in the conveyor system. This makes it an ideal solution for enhancing production speed and efficiency.
🔹 Two-up production – Increases output while maintaining top quality.
🔹 Inline splitting saw – Automatically separates two-up products after face trimming.
🔹 Integration with perfect binding lines – Works seamlessly with gate-folding stations, three-knife trimmers, and stacking solutions.
With its exceptional trimming quality, high production speed, and seamless integration, the Müller Martini Frontero is the ideal choice for producing premium brochures and books with gate-folded covers.
