The stacker / de-stacker is a buffer which enables a continuous feed of plates to the ring preparation line, also during coil change. The machine is designed to operate with a fully automatic production line: The coiler triggers the need for a plate. Extra available plates are stored for later use.
The Fontijne Holland stacker / de-stacker, originally designed for wheel production, can also be used for other applications, where plates need to be stored and unstacked automatically.
The plates are transported to the stacker / de-stacker by a conveyor.
In case of a single de-stacker station the operator can load up to 3 stacks of strips. The stack is moved to the de-stacking position automatically.
When de-stacking, the strips are picked and placed one by one on the infeed conveyor.
