METTILIBRO - C
Block book feeder
The METTILIBRO is a feeder for sewn or glued books to be fed either vertically
or horizontally. If the books are fed manually into the hopper, the METTILIBRO
will automatically distribute or feed them to the subsequent lines.
Upon request we can supply the AUTOMATIC FEEDING BELT, length 2,0 mt.
controlled by the PLC, for the automatic and synchronised feed of book piles
to the hopper of the METTILIBRO. When running heavy books the operator is
forced to load a few books at a time, viceversa it would be difficult to extract
them from under the pile due to their heavy weight. Using the automatic feeder
this problem no longer exists as the feeder can load also small batches of
books in a synchronised mode, avoiding the “weight effect” and allowing the
operator to work at the maximum speed with the minimum workforce.
With the automatic feeder it’s necessary to load batches of books onto the
conveyor belt placed at a height of approx. 1,35 mt. from the floor, therefore
it’s necessary that the operator uses a pallet for this job.
Such inconvenience may cause excess fatigue of the operator and
consequently a loss in production. As an alternative we can offer, upon
request, the AUTOMATIC AND SYNCHRONISED LIFT for book piles
deposited onto the feeding belt which, placed at a height of 0,9 mt., will raise
them to the introduction height of the METTILIBRO at 1,35 mt
