Dual-vacuum, dual-bay stacker for long sheets.


A custom stacker for sheet over 20 ft long is under construction at Vulcan Vulcan, in astronomy
Vulcan, in astronomy, hypothetical planet whose existence was proposed by Leverrier to explain part of the advance of the perihelion of Mercury, not all of which could be accounted for by gravitational effects of the other planets under

Historically precise positioning was associated with surveying and geodesy.

 The dual stacker is T-shaped and stacks on both sides of the cutoff, so a finished stack can be removed while a new stack is being built in the opposite bay. It's believed to be the first such system on the market. The machine can also stack shorter sheets at higher speed by using only one of the two vacuum pick-up units, Tel: (330) 376-6025 * PTDirect: 863VR
