Overhead feeder PFX

paperfor palletsheet

The PFX pallet feeder allows you to feed the sheets shingled and underlapped into the first folding unit instead of feeding them conventionally with a sheet gap. This feeding technology on our folder is very similar to today’s printing presses. The underlapping of sheets (shingling sheets) on the infeed register table increases the amount of sheets that can be processed by nearly half over conventional sheet gap feeding at the very same machine speed. The pallet feeder PFX secures you the highest efficiency for your industrialized folding production. The processing of perfect pallets and uneven stacked pallets is handled reliably by the PFX. The separation of the paper with pulsed air pre-separates the sheets on the pallet. The sheets are reliably transferred onto the AirstreamTable from the feeder in conjunction with our combined two-stage sheet acceleration via an overhead suction wheel on the sheet trailing edge and the underlying suction wheel near the entrance to the register table. This revolutionary feeding technology on the PFX feeder is easier to set-up than conventional feeders, since all settings of the Air Management can be stored and retrieved when needed. With our peak performance folding machine Stahlfolder TX 96 equipped with the pallet feeder PFX you can achieve performances of over 18,000 sheets per hour in the production of 16-page signatures in the final format A4.
