Small pieces feeder

Description

Tau represents the innovative solution designed to simplify and optimize the manual insertion process of a wide range of flat linens into the ironing line. This machine is conceived to handle with agility and speed items of various sizes, from the smallest ones like napkins and pillowcases, to medium and large-sized items such as aprons, tablecloths, and bed sheets.
This machine is designed for semi-automatic linen insertion, allowing the operator to insert the laundry more easily and quickly without manually stretching the garment along its entire length. The vacuum introduction conveyor allows one end of the wet linen to be placed, while the remaining part is unfolded and stretched by the powerful “Ventomat” suction chamber.
The combined action of the aspirated conveyor belt, shaping blades, and suction chamber allows for the smoothing of the creases formed during the washing phase, facilitating the transfer of the linen to the mangle. The speed of the belts adjusts and synchronizes with that of the mangle. Specific parameters allow for easy adjustment of the speed offset percentage, essential for ensuring the correct stretching of the fibers.

Features of the standard model

  • Multiple working widths available (3300 - 3500 - 4000 - 4200)
  • Air discharge at the top of the machine through chimneys
  • Conveyor speed synchronously adjusted to the ironer speed
  • PLC control system and operating panel with touch-screen
  • Multiple programmable settings
  • Presence of an inverter on each motor, ensuring precise and independent speed control, energy efficiency, and maintenance cost savings.

All Options

A LED bar at the top of the feeding belts assists the operator
in correctly positioning the linen on the feeding table

An automatism, consisting of a mobile flat surface, installed right above the entry conveyor
of the feeder, on which the operator places the garment during insertion. The platform retracts,
stretching the item onto the conveyor belt. It enables the operator to work more quickly,
automatically center the small pieces, and eliminates the need for manual
linen stretching. Clamps and brushes can be added for further efficiency.

Spreading brushes improve the finishing results by smoothing our wrinkles in the linen
during the feeding process, and are recommended when top-quality finishing
is required. It can be equipped with an optional set of spreader clamps, allowing a single
operator to introduce large linen items extremely quickly and evenly. (This option has a long lead time)

The sliding blades at the entrance of the feeder are designed to facilitate the passage of
linen items into the machine’s feeding system. These blades work in
synergy with the suction conveyor, helping to stretch and align the incoming linen.
Thanks to this option, the creases in the items are smoothed out, making it easier to transfer
the linen to the ironer.

The pressure rolls on feeding conveyor squeeze air out of the pillow cases and
help keeping small items on the feed belt. The can be used to
align the pieces in lane center.
