More Information
Summary:An automatic stacking machine or stacker is provided for stacking bars and various shapes, such as angles, into bundles, preparatory to strapping or tying the bundles, for shipment or storage. The bars are fed singly on powerdriven chains against fixed stops, so as to provide a compact layer or charge, which is then transferred by means of pre-charge carriages to a second set of power-driven chains. This second set of chains transfers the charge against a second set of stops, after which the charge is transferred by stacking carriages or magnetic turnover arms onto stacking cradles, to form a bundle of bars. The bundles are strapped or tied together by means of automatic strappers positioned alongside the stacking cradles.
