Operation

The pieces are folded by means of a reversing belts in combination with an air-blast. By keeping the pieces confined between the two sets of transport belts, high-quality, consistent folding is achieved. After the folding section, the pieces are directed towards a high speed roll-off stacking system. As soon as piece reaches its position on the slide, it stops and the slide is retracted. The retracting movement is carried out by 2 oversized cylinders and controlled by an intelligent linear encoder. This way the movement is carefully monitored and controlled, ensuring a long operating lifespan. Pieces are collected on a lifting stacker. Once its preset stacking height is reached, the pile is put on the final collection belt. A couple of piles can be stored. As the speed and height of the final belt is adjustable it is easy to synchronise with any external packing machine.
