The pile loading trolley PLT-100, for the Smart-binder
pile sheet feeders (SB-095 or SB-096), provides a fast and simple way to load large piles of sheets into these off-line feeders.
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 (27.59") in height. The PLT-100 system is provided with two loading trolleys. While the first trolley is engaged with the feeder, feeding sheets into the Smart-binder, the second trolley may be loaded with the next pile of printed sheets. Use of the trollies reduces the SB-095 feeder pile reload time from about 2 minutes to about 35 secs, increasing the overall Smart-binder running efficiency by about 10%.
Additional loading trollies are available if needed (option PLT-101 : part number B0000997) to allow multiple printed sheet piles to be stored on trollies, ready to load into the feeder.
Retro-fit of the PLT-100 pile loading trolley in the field is difficult, requiring modifications to the pile feeder. Please refer to IBIS.
