Stacker / De-stacker​

The stacker / de-stacker is a buffer which enables a continuous feed of plates to the ring preparation line, also during coil change. The machine is designed to operate with a fully automatic production line: The coiler triggers the need for a plate. Extra available plates are stored for later use.

The Fontijne Holland stacker / de-stacker, originally designed for wheel production, can also be used for other applications, where plates need to be stored and unstacked automatically.
