Double the speed for large nonwovens

The new Optima LS Stacker processes up to 1,600 units per minute and forwards them in stacks of up to 100 units each minute to the downstream packaging machines.

This is quite an achievement considering the weight of the bundled bed liners, incontinence products or other nonwoven stacks to be transported through the machine – a maximum of 5kg per bundled stack. Increased flexibility is a further advantage of the new system.

Due to the high speeds, considerable g-forces are exerted on the product mover and the guides of the Optima LS Stacker. These forces are compensated by way of the inherent magnetic fields of the linear drives. The magnetic forces which are generated allow for secure guiding of the products across the entire movement. With the use of this newly-developed system, the advantages of the linear drives can be fully exploited.
