Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to improve the loosening of the sheet stack and the paper run in the feeder, especially in the case of thinner paper from the pallet, foils and the like, by means of loosening blowers which can be individually regulated and individually directed onto the sheet stack independently of the air supply system of the machine.
  • the invention solves this problem by means of training features according to claim 1.
  • Fans are independent of the machine's standard air system because each fan has its own paddle wheel with an independent drive by an electric motor. Fans can therefore be regulated independently of each other in the blown air and can be directed individually with their blown air flow at different angular positions against the side surfaces of the sheet stack.
  • the number of fans provided is independent of the standard air supply and can therefore be increased as required.
  • FIGS 3 to 5 show only schematically an embodiment for controlling the air flow from the fan.
  • Other control elements for the air flow from a fan are known and can also be used.
