Sheeter manufacturer Maxson has developed an air delivery system that improves the “press readiness” of the stacked sheets by floating the cut packets out into the stacker’s jog box, supporting the delivery of long or lightweight sheets and overcoming static build-up inherent in the overlapping delivery process.
Compressed air is introduced between each cut packet in the slow speed section of an overlapping delivery system. The delivery nozzles, which can be positioned as required, inject a steady stream of air above the tail end of the first packet and underneath the following, overlapped sheet. This establishes a “blanket” of air between sheets prior to reaching the stacker.
The operator controls the volume of air with a hand valve conveniently located near the stacker, which allows monitoring of the pile quality. Typically, the air flow is maintained to allow the cut packet to fall slowly to the top of the pile, allowing maximum opportunity to jog the sheets into place.
