Spreader Feeders

Overview

Serves a wide variety of flatwork laundry processing needs including hospitality, healthcare, commercial linen, and general industrial laundries
Servo drive technology provides accurate and fast spread and laydown of large piece items
Patent spread detection and speed synchronized spread belts
Infeed laydown functionality provides consistent quality feeding
Easily processes fitted sheets!
Single point transfer and positive center point spreading – assures mininal drops and accurate centering – maximizies line productivity
Lower feed carriage heights
Ball bearing carriers for all transport motions
Two or Three operator station options
Production line speeds of 125 fpm (feet per minute)
Manufactured with fewer moving parts than others on the market!
Built to withstand the wear and tear of today’s high-volume laundry environments
Automated spread clamp jam detection

The automatic leading edge and width transfer programming allows for a seamless transition for those plants that process mixed items in a single lane. This stress relief capability assures a smooth transfer from the spread mechanism to the feed table and provides for an extraordinary high quality leading edge.
This process as opposed to others on the market does not require using a host of air knives or jets to try and clean up the leading edge post spreading. Additionally, other models have more sheet losses as they use more air which increases the margin of error. Braun machines take one transfer from the operator to the machine. This is done through a mechanical process that assures consistent part centering each and every feed.

Centrally located in the machine control cabinet.
Each valve within the manifold provides an LED indicator which identifies if the valve is cycling properly.

Automatic leading edge and width transfer programming allows for seamless transition for plants that process mixed items in a single lane
Smooth transfer of goods from the spread mechanism to the feed tables provides an extraordinary high quality leading edge
One transfer from operator to machine ensuring consistent part centering on each and every feed
Pneumatic manifolds centrally located in machine for ease of maintenance and trouble shooting
Programmable inverter conveyor drive with digital speed indicator
Smart clamp technology with integrated photoeye for material detection – drastically reduces drops that clipless units experience!
Small piece infeed table for feeding hand feed goods through an ironer while keeping the operators away from the infeed of the ironer.
Working width of 120″ or 130″
Swing down discharge conveyor to allow access to the ironer without moving the feeder
Spread tension control via patented spread detection device ensures ideal spread of each item, even while processing mixed sizes!

Casters for mobility
Safety circuit guarded doors
Illuminated emergency stops
Illuminated feed table
Soft start and stop to reduce wear on drive components
Collision avoidance with jam detection
Belt drives
Note: Folders paired with clipless feeders are more prone to increased item reject rates (aka. folder drops) as a result of inconsistent quality of the feed/laydown process, reducing total throughput of the finishing line.

Optional external production counters are available to easily monitor production by operator/station
