Air-Board Systems offer numerous buffer spaces for jogged reams. They bridge the waiting-times between jogging and cutting. Air-Boards, which are put between the reams, separate the reams and are also used for the ream's transport. Air-Boards are put in or taken out by the operator.
Application
Building up a pile of jogged reams for further processing
Destacking of piles
Pile-exchange
Modes of operation
In-line Solution:
The Air-Board System is installed between the jogger and the cutter. The reams are jogged in the automatic jogger, buffered in the air-board system and are then transported towards the cutter. It is also possible to put in pre-jogged piles directly at the air-board system, thus skipping the automatic jogger, and transport the reams towards the cutter.
Off-line Solution:
After the jogging process the reams are buffered and restacked with the assistance of the air-board system. The reams are then transported from the air-board system towards the cutter either automatically via the rear-table or manually via the front-table.
Advantages
BLL is a low-cost buffering system
