FLAT PILE FEEDER
FSA 38
Principle of
Operation
The flat pile feeder FSA 38 with rear edge separator is suitable for separating different
kinds of paper, uncoated as well as coated, freshly printed or thin paper.
Sheet separation is done by vacuum and air from the top of the paper stack.
Air blowers separate the top sheets at the rear edge of the stack.
Sheet separators lift the uppermost sheet by approx. 2 cm.
This opens the rear air nozzles and an uninterrupted stream of air is blown
under the separated sheet.
The suction drum at the front edge of the stack grips the sheet and leads it
onto the register table.
