AMTRANS sheet sorting and transfer rail

High-output feeding system that calls sheets, duvets and draw sheets from a buffering rail into one or two feeding lanes, so each clipping operator works at their own pace.

Overview

The AMTRANS separates clipping from feeding. Operators clip sheets, duvets or draw sheets at ergonomic stations and the pieces are buffered on a rail, so one person's output never holds up another's, unlike a conventional feeder where the slowest sets the pace. The first clip pulls the sheet, making the second corner easier to find. Pieces are then called from the rail automatically, and the feeder, ironer and folder switch to the matching program and speed.

The feeding machine works in one or two lanes at 8 to 60 m/min and handles pieces from 0.4 × 0.4 m up to 3.3 m long. It has a stretch conveyor, an open suction box with brushes, suction under the feeding belts and adjustable spreading tension, all set from a touch screen with up to 100 programs and backed up to USB. Sorting can be automatic or semi-automatic, including sorting washed linen into carriers at the clipping position.

Features

  • Sorting of sheets, duvets or draw sheets, is possible, without extra handling.
  • Also sorting of washed laundry, into carriers at the clipping position.
  • Ergonomic workplace.
  • By buffering, the clipping production per person is fully independent of each other, contrary to a normal feeder, where the slowest person sets the pace.
  • The first clip is pulling the sheet, which makes it easier to find the second corner and reduces hard physical labour.
  • Automatic or semi automatic sorting possiblilities. (sheets, duvets, draw sheets)
