Air Cushion for Mallable Plastic Sheets
Company prints name panels. When a sheet of plastic comes out of the printer, it is soft and pliable. This causes it to droop down when it reaches the end of the conveyor and not slide onto the stacking table. Installing a Model 110048 48" (1219mm) Super Air Knife between the conveyor belt and the stacking table, the high velocity airflow acted as an air bearing directing the pliable sheet onto the stacking table. An added benefit was the cooling provided by the air knife. The material hardened reducing its flexibility and further improving the handibility of the products.
