Sheet pile loading trolley PLT-100

For Smart-binder feeders SB-095 or SB-096

The pile loading trolley PLT-100 pile loading trolley for Smart-binder pile feeders (SB-095 or SB-096) provides a fast and simple way to load large piles of sheets into the off-line Smart-binder sheet-feeder. Please note: The PLT-100 is not suitable for use with the combined inline and off-line operation pile feeder SB-097.

The PLT-100 trolley may be loaded with piles of sheets up to about 700mm in height. Use of this loading trolley reduces the SB-095 feeder pile reload time from about 2 minutes to about 35 secs, which increases the overall Smart-binder running efficiency by about 10%.

The PLT-100 system is provided with two loading trolleys. This allows Trolley #1 to be loaded with the next pile of printed sheets while Trolley #2 is engaged with the feeder and feeding sheets into the Smart-binder. If Trolley #1 is already loaded with the next sheet pile this reduces the Smart-binder reload time to about 35 seconds. Dimensions of the loading Trolley may be found here.

Additional loading trollies may be provided if needed (option PLT-101 : part number B0000997). This can allow multiple printed sheet piles to be stored on trollies and ready to load into the SB-095 feeder as required.

Retro-fit of the PLT-100 pile loading trolley in the field is difficult, requiring modifications to the pile feeder. Please refer to IBIS.
