Alternatively, the stack carrier 78 right from the start at such a vertical distance from the conveyor belt 29 , 30th be positioned so that it has a sufficient amount of substrate sheets without vertical movement 1 or benefit 10th is able to record. In 21st you can only see one stack. In addition to this, several further stacks lying next to one another can be formed simultaneously. If the stack of substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th the stops have reached a sufficient height 77 , if this with the stack carrier 78 have been shifted back vertically to their starting position. The stack carrier 78 is shifted vertically to its starting position and horizontally by a distance equal to the length of the substrate sheet to be deposited 1 plus a distance value. The chronological sequence of the relocation of stack carriers 78 and attacks 77 is irrelevant if collisions are avoided. The shift is preferably carried out synchronously. During the relocation of the stack carrier 78 becomes the device for forming a gap in the shingled stream 83 activated so that during this time the stack carrier 78 no substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th are fed. After deactivating the device to form a gap in the shingled stream 83 can the next stack of substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th on the stack carrier 78 be formed ( 24th ).

The processes are then repeated, as for the formation of the first stack from the substrate sheet 1 or benefit 10th described, simple or several times until a further stack or further stacks with the desired height are formed in the direction of transport 74 considered one behind the other and possibly also side by side ( 25th ).

At this point in the process, the feeder 80 are used. This captures the top separator 81 of dividers 81 formed stack 82 and transports it over to the stack carrier 78 formed stack of substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th where it is released and for storage on the top sheet of substrate 1 or benefit 10th reached ( 26 ). The surface of the separation sheet 81 takes the place of the surface of the stack carrier in the further course 78 and thus forms the new stacking level.

In the next step, a single or a series of stacks of substrate sheets will be created on the new stacking level 1 or benefit 10th educated. For this, the stack carrier 78 in terms of its vertical position from the transport device 79 positioned such that the new stacking level is below the release level of the conveyor belt 29 , 30th lies. With regard to its horizontal position, it is positioned in such a way that from the conveyor belt 29 , 30th promoted benefits 10th or substrate sheet 1 on the separating element 81 get to the filing. ( 28 )

With rotating conveyor belt 29 , 30th then become substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th on the separating element 81 promoted and thereby by the attacks 77 sideways and preferably also in the direction of transport 74 aligned. As the process progresses, the stack of substrate sheets grows 1 or benefit 10th as in 29 shown.
The stack carrier 78 is preferably lowered. The stops 77 synchronized with the lowering movement of the stack carrier 78 be lowered with. Alternatively, the stack carrier 78 right from the start at such a vertical distance from the conveyor belt 29 , 30th be positioned so that it has a sufficient amount of substrate sheets without vertical movement 1 or benefit 10th is able to record. If the stack of substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th the stops have reached a sufficient height 77 , if this with the stack carrier 78 have been shifted back vertically to their starting position. The stack carrier 78 is shifted vertically to the position it was at the beginning of the formation of the first stack on the separator 81 paused and horizontally by a path equal to the length of the substrate sheet to be deposited 1 plus a distance value.
During the relocation of the stack carrier 78 becomes the device for forming a gap in the shingled stream 83 activated so that during this time the stack carrier 78 no substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th are fed. After deactivating the device to form a gap in the shingled stream 83 can the next stack of substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th on the separating element 81 be formed ( 31 ). Is a sufficient number of stacks of substrate sheets 1 or benefit 10th on the stack carrier 78 formed, the loaded stack carrier is 78 transported away and by a new receptive stack carrier 78 replaced.

The sequence of the works of the sheet-fed printing machine results from the technological requirements. Preferably one or more processing units 46 following one or more printing units 6 educated. In the case of multiple printing units 6 these are mostly with different tools 116 from the group of cutting tools, punching tools, creasing tools, perforating tools or grooving tools.

Likewise, one or more processing plants 46 one or more printing units 6 preceded. Alternatively, one or more processing plants can be interposed 46 between one or more printing units 6 intended. The sheet-fed printing press preferably also comprises one or more coating units, which preferably comprise the printing units 6 are connected downstream or to the processing plants 46 connect.
A substrate processing machine, in particular a sheet processing machine, which is not a printing machine, can have the structure of the sheet printing machine described reduced by the printing units 6 same.
Following the printing units 6 or the processing plants 46 is the separator 2nd educated. The separating device comprises a transport cylinder 3rd . The transport cylinder 3rd is twice the size, ie it transports two sheets of substrate per revolution 1 . However, the invention is not based on a double-sized version of the transport cylinder 3rd limited. In the following, the invention is described on the basis of a simple-sized system. This description is also representative of the double-size system or multi-size system in an analogue equivalent. In the area of the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd is a sheet holding system for fixing the leading edges of sheet-shaped substrate 1 , in particular a gripper system (in the case of a double-sized system, two sheet holding systems are formed). The gripper system is preferably a suction gripper system 17th , also as a suction system 17th designated, trained and is supplied by air supply means. The suction pad system 17th is designed to generate a suction area, the extension of which is in the axial direction of the transport cylinder 3rd is a multiple of its extent in the circumferential direction. The extension of the suction area of the suction gripper system 17th in the circumferential direction of the transport cylinder 3rd is preferably less than 20 mm, more preferably less than 15 mm, more preferably less than 10 mm. The suction area can be a continuous, across the width of the transport cylinder 3rd extending opening or a plurality of adjacent suction openings can be formed. The at least one suction opening is for fixing the front edge of the substrate 1 arranged that with elevator fixed 5 in the circumferential direction of the transport cylinder 3rd to the elevator 5 is spaced. The extension of the suction area in the axial direction of the transport cylinder is advantageous 3rd adjustable. This can be done in particular in the feed path of the suction air for the in relation to the center of the transport cylinder 3rd outer suction openings adjusting means 28 in particular in the form of shut-off valves. The adjustability of the extent of the suction area has the advantage that the suction air consumption is minimized. The transport cylinder 3rd preferably also has means (in the case of a double-sized system, two fixing means are formed) for fixing an interchangeable elevator 5 on. The means for fixing are preferably designed as clamping grippers. With them is a respective elevator 5 fixable on the rear edge and on the front edge. The means for fixing the front edge of the elevator 5 are preferably through the clamping element leading edge 22 (also referred to as the clamping jaw) and the further clamping element which cooperates with this to form a clamping gap 24th (also known as a surcharge). The further clamping element 24th is firmly attached to the base of the transport cylinder 3rd stored. The clamping element 22 is fixed with a lever 21st connected to a pivot point 34 pivotable on the base body of the transport cylinder 3rd is stored. The lever 21st is from a preferably designed as a spring energy store 23 clamped so that the between the clamping element 22 and the further clamping element 24th formed clamping gap closes. The feather 23 is designed as a compression spring and is supported with one end on the lever 21st and with its other end at the head one in the base body of the transport cylinder 3rd screwed screw. The 3rd shows the clamping gripper front edge with fixed front edge of the elevator 5 , ie in the closed state. The 4th shows the clamping gripper front edge with released front edge of the elevator 5 , ie in the open state. The opening of the front edge clamp gripper is against the force of the spring 23 causes. The force required to open the front edge of the clamping gripper is preferably provided by an actuating element 23 which in particular as a pneumatic muscle 23 can be formed, applied. The control element, or the pneumatic muscle 23 preferably acts on another lever 33 one, one end of which is located at a fixed point on the transport cylinder 3rd supports. Under the force of the actuator 23 which in particular as a pneumatic muscle 23 can be formed is the further lever 33 pivotable about the aforementioned fixed point. In the case of training as a pneumatic muscle 23 this is pressurized with compressed air, under the effect of which it expands, the further lever 33 is pivoted. The pivoting movement of the further lever 33 is by a on the transport cylinder 3rd trained wall limited. The further lever 33 acts on a ball 35 one between the other lever 33 and the lever 21st is trained and relocated. With the displacement of the ball 35 will also be the lever 21st and with this the clamping element leading edge 22 shifted. Will the actuator 23 actuated in the opposite direction, or the pneumatic muscle 23 depressurized, ie switched off, shifts the force of the energy accumulator 23 , especially the spring 23 , the lever 21st , the ball 35 and the other lever 33 back towards their starting position until the movement by striking the front edge of the clamping element 22 on the further clamping element leading edge 24th or the elevator 5 is limited. The rear edge of the elevator 5 is between a clamping element trailing edge 47 and another clamping element trailing edge 48 fixable, which together form another clamping gap. The force required to close the trailing edge of the clamping gripper is provided by a rotatable clamping shaft 50 applied that over a toggle 51 on the clamping element trailing edge 47 acts. For tensioning the elevator 5 At least one of the clamping grippers, ie the front edge clamping gripper or the rear edge clamping gripper, can be displaced in the circumferential direction of the transport cylinder. In the 3rd and 4th the clamping gripper rear edge can be moved. In particular, the clamping gripper is trailing edge on a in the circumferential direction of the transport cylinder 3rd slidable slide mounted. The sled 49 in addition to the clamping gripper trailing edge preferably also carries the tension shaft 50 and the toggle 51 . For tensioning the elevator 5 it is first fixed at both ends by the front edge clamping gripper and the rear edge clamping gripper. Then the sled 49 shifted clockwise, what of another actuator 52 , which can also be designed as a pneumatic muscle. Regardless of the type of training the means for fixing the elevator 5 preferably carry positioning pins or are preferably assigned positioning elements. The positioning pins or positioning elements can, in particular, the further clamping element leading edge 22 be directly assigned.
The transport cylinder 3rd preferably has first and second openings 12th , 13 on that with the elevator fixed 5 at least partially from the elevator 5 formable breakthroughs are covered. The openings 12th , 13 are with air supply 14 , 15 connected. In particular, the first are air supply means 14 to supply the first openings 12th with air and second air supply 15 to Supply the second openings 13 provided with air. In the context below, air is understood to mean all forms of system air, ie in particular blown air or suction air, which are suitable, in particular, to exert a physical effect, such as force, and which can be characterized by at least one of the parameters static pressure, dynamic pressure or volume flow. The chemical composition of the air or its moisture content is of no importance. Such air is generated in a manner known per se using compressors, compressors, vacuum pumps, suction pumps or similar components. The aforementioned air generators can be of the first and second air supply means 14 , 15 includes the transport cylinder and in particular together with all means the air the openings 12th , 14 feed and / or the feed control the air supply means 14 , 15 form.
The first and second openings 12th , 13 are preferably independently supplied with air. The air supply is preferably either the first or the second openings 14 , 15 or both openings 14 , 15 switchable trained. Switchability in this sense means in particular the switching between suction air and blown air, it being irrelevant what type of air supply is switched to which type.

The first and second openings 12th , 13 are in the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd educated. Preferably the first and second openings 12th , 13 in the circumferential direction of the transport cylinder 3rd or in the axial direction of the transport cylinder 3rd are arranged alternately. The first and / or the second openings 12th , 13 are preferably groove-shaped or hole-shaped. By arranging the first and second openings 12th , 13 in the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd there is preferably a fine-meshed network of elements with which possibly in the elevator 5 trained openings can be supplied with air. The arrangement of the openings in the elevator 5 takes place according to the arrangement of waste part or waste parts 9 one hand and benefit 10th on the other hand. For example, in the area of those first openings 12th breakthroughs in the elevator that are trained in the area of utility 5 be formed during all second openings 13 that are useful in the field 10th are formed, no openings in the elevator 5 face each other. The same applies analogously to the area of waste parts 9 , here the second openings 13 Breakthroughs in the elevator 5 face each other during the first openings 12th from closed areas of the elevator 5 are covered. These measures can benefit 10th and waste parts 9 treated differently, or on the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd or its elevator 5 be fixed.
The details of the air supply to the first and second openings 12th , 13 are particularly in the 5 , 6 and 7 shown. The air supply 14 , 15 to supply the first and second openings 12th , 13 preferably comprise one or more rotary valves or rotary inlets. The rotary slide valves or rotary inlets are preferably on the end face of the transport cylinder 3rd trained or assigned to this. Preferably there are two rotary valves or two rotary inlets on opposite end faces of the transport cylinder 3rd educated. In the in the 5 , 6 and 7 The example shown comprises the rotary slide valve or the at least one rotary introduction of a disk 18th which is one of the end faces of the transport cylinder 3rd assigned. In the disc 18th are several groove-shaped recesses 19th , 56 , 57 formed, which is preferably a segment of a circle, coaxial to the axis of rotation 16 of the transport cylinder 3rd extend. The recess 19th is via a first feed nozzle 53 , the recess 56 via a second feed nozzle 54 and the recess 57 via a third feed nozzle 55 supplied with air. The recesses 19th , 56 and 57 are on the the transport cylinder 3rd facing side of the disc 18th educated. They extend in different radii in a segment of a circle, coaxial to the axis of rotation 16 of the transport cylinder 3rd . Each of the recesses 19th , 56 and 57 must be in the circumferential direction of the disc 18th not continuous but rather can be broken, so that several in the circumferential direction of the disc on the same radius 18th considers consecutive recesses 19th , 56 and 57 form. The recesses 19th , 56 and 57 correspond in terms of their distance (radius) to the axis of rotation 16 of the transport cylinder 3rd with in the front of the transport cylinder 3rd trained openings 58 . Each of the openings 58 in the front of the transport cylinder 3rd communicates via further lines with either a single or a part of the first openings 12th or with a single or part of the second openings 13 in the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd or with the suction pad system 17th . Of course, this only applies as long as the respective opening of the respective recess 19th , 56 and 57 depending on the angular position of the transport cylinder 3rd opposite. At the in 2nd illustrated embodiment supply the axis of rotation 16 of the transport cylinder 3rd closest recesses 57 the suction pad system 17th leading to these adjacent recesses 56 the second openings 13 and the recesses adjacent to these 19th the first openings 12th .
The disc 18th stands opposite the transport cylinder 3rd which in the operating state about the axis of rotation 16 turns, silent. By extending the recesses 19th , 56 and 57 in the circumferential direction of the Transport cylinder 3rd areas of suction or blown air are determined on the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd be formed in relation to the angle of rotation.

Superimposed on these effects, the areas of suction or blown air can also be determined by the type of air supply or its connection or disconnection. So it can extend in the same air supply 12th or 13 according to the recesses 19th , 56 area can be shortened by switching off the air supply at an angle. Likewise, one can extend in the same air supply means 12th or 13 according to the recesses 19th , 56 area can be divided into at least one suction area and at least one blowing area by switching the air supply between a suction air supply and a blown air supply. The suction area on the lateral surface of the transport cylinder is used 3rd for fixation and the blowing area for repelling benefits 10th or waste parts 9 . It goes without saying that the air supply for the first openings 12th preferably independent of the air supply for the second openings 13 is.
According to a preferred embodiment, the first and / or the second air supply means 14 , 15 for switching off the suction air supply or switching between suction air supply and blown air supply depending on the angular position of the openings supplied 12th , 13 educated. The first air supply means preferably switch 14 the air supply to the first openings 12th from or from suction air supply to blown air supply if the respective first openings 12th by rotation of the transport cylinder 3rd about its axis of rotation 16 reach a first release point. The second air supply means more preferably switch 15 the air supply to the second openings 13 from or from suction air supply to blown air supply if the respective second openings 13 by rotation of the transport cylinder 3rd about its axis of rotation 16 reach a second release point. The disc 18th is preferably via a torque arm 20th connected to a frame and on the transport cylinder 3rd is rotatably mounted. The transport cylinder 3rd is preferably in the same frame on which the torque arm 20th is articulated, rotatably mounted.

For relocating the areas of suction or blowing air on the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd Angle of rotation can be formed, actuators for rotating the disc 18th be provided.
To make assembly easier, the washer points 18th preferably a recess on which a radial displacement of the disc 18th in the sense of a shift for the purpose of exchange.
Instead of a disc 18th can also use multiple discs 18th be provided. In the case of multiple disks 18th are in one of the disks 18th the recesses 57 to supply the suction gripper system 17th and in the other disc 18th the recesses 19th and 56 to supply the first and second openings 12th , 13 educated.
The details of the supply of the suction pad system 17th are in a preferred variant in 8th shown. In the embodiment shown, the disc is used 18th to supply the first and second openings 12th , 13 and the supply of the suction gripper system 17th .
Alternatively, the washer 18th also exclusively a groove-shaped recesses 57 have, which are preferably circular segment, coaxial to the axis of rotation 16 of the transport cylinder 3rd extends. The recess 57 is also in this embodiment of a third feed nozzle 55 supplied with air. The recess 57 is on the of the transport cylinder 3rd facing side of the disc 18th educated. The recess 57 is in the circumferential direction of the disc 18th preferably continuous or interrupted, so that several in the circumferential direction of the disc on the same radius 18th considers consecutive recesses 57 or sections of the recess 57 are formed. The recess 57 corresponds in terms of their distance (radius) to the axis of rotation 16 of the transport cylinder 3rd with one or more in the front of the transport cylinder 3rd trained openings 58 . The or each opening 58 communicates with the suction pad system via additional lines 17th . Of course, this only applies as long as the respective opening 58 the recess 57 depending on the angular position of the transport cylinder 3rd opposite. In other words, the length and the position of the angular range in the suction cup system 17th Suction air is present, ie the suction gripper system 17th Holding effect unfolds through the extent and position of the recesses 57 certainly.
It goes without saying that the air supply to the suction pad system 17th not on the described embodiment with disks 18th is limited. The air supply to the suction gripper system 17th can also be realized with other known embodiments of an air supply, which is sufficiently quick on the suction gripper system 17th be able to activate and deactivate the suction air in cycles.
The suction pad system 17th is in the area of the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd educated. The suction gripper system is preferred 17th the means for fixing the elevator 5 assigned. In particular, the suction gripper system 17th on the means for fixing the elevator 5 be stored. The means for fixing the elevator is preferably 5 for its part and therefore also the suction gripper system 17th movable, in particular pivoted. The suction pad system 17th can especially the Front edge clamping element 22 assigned. The suction gripper system is also advantageous 17th together with the clamping element 22 on the lever 21st to arrange.
According to a preferred embodiment is adjacent to the transport cylinder 3rd a stripping cylinder 4th arranged. The stripping cylinder 4th is like the transport cylinder 3rd rotatably mounted. The stripping cylinder 4th serves to break out waste parts 9 or useful 10th . The stripping cylinder preferably has 4th third openings 32 on. To supply the third openings 32 with air, third air supply means are provided.
The stripping cylinder 4th can like the transport cylinder 3rd also be double-sized or single-sized. In the case of a double-sized design of the stripping cylinder 4th its circumference or diameter corresponds to the circumference or diameter of a double-sized transport cylinder 3rd . The stripping cylinder is preferably 4th simply tall. The structure of the stripping cylinder is the same 4th preferably in many features the transport cylinder 3rd , so that to describe the nature of the stripping cylinder 4th on the comments on the nature of the transport cylinder 3rd Reference is made. This applies in particular to all components of the transport cylinder 3rd or the stripping cylinder 4th to which no structural differences or a lack is explicitly indicated. The nature of the stripping cylinder 4th is described below using a simple sized system. This description is also representative of the double-size system or multi-size system in an analogue equivalent. In contrast to the transport cylinder 3rd includes the stripping cylinder 4th no sheet holding system for fixing the leading edges of sheet-shaped substrate 1 .
Like the transport cylinder 3rd points the stripping cylinder 4th preferably means for fixing an interchangeable elevator 5 on. The means for fixing are preferably designed as clamping grippers. With them is a respective elevator 5 fixable on the rear edge and on the front edge. The means for fixing the front edge of the elevator 5 are preferably through the clamping element leading edge 22 and the further clamping element cooperating with this to form a clamping gap 24th educated. The front edge clamping element 22 is on the base body of the stripping cylinder 4th stored. The further clamping element 24th can be formed in particular as a leaf spring assembly. Adjacent to the other clamping element 24th is a control element, preferably designed as a pneumatic muscle 25th arranged. The control element is preferably connected to an air supply, with that on the control element 25th an overpressure can be applied. If there is excess pressure, the control element expands 25th from, it on the other clamping element 24th rests and deforms it. As a result of the deformation, in particular the bending of the further clamping element 24th its extension changes in the direction of the clamping element leading edge 22 . By applying an overpressure, for example in the form of compressed air to the control element 25th can thus the front edge between the clamping element 22 and another clamping element 24th formed gap enlarged and when switching off the excess pressure on the control element 25th be reduced in size, which is clamping the elevator 5 corresponds. The 10th shows the clamping gripper of the stripping cylinder 4th Front edge with fixed front edge of the elevator 5 , ie in the closed state.
The rear edge of the elevator 5 is between a clamping element trailing edge 47 and another clamping element trailing edge 48 fixable, which together form another clamping gap. The force required to close the trailing edge of the clamping gripper is provided by a rotatable clamping shaft 50 applied that over a toggle 51 on the clamping element trailing edge 47 acts.

For tensioning the elevator 5 is at least one of the clamping grippers, ie the clamping gripper leading edge or the clamping gripper trailing edge in the circumferential direction of the stripping cylinder 4th relocatable. In the 10th the clamping gripper rear edge can be moved. In particular, the clamping gripper is trailing edge on a in the circumferential direction of the stripping cylinder 4th sliding carriage 49 stored. The sled 49 in addition to the clamping gripper trailing edge preferably also carries the tension shaft 50 and the toggle 51 . For tensioning the elevator 5 it is first fixed at both ends by the front edge clamping gripper and the rear edge clamping gripper. Then the sled 49 shifted counterclockwise, what of another actuator 52 , which can also be designed as a pneumatic muscle.
Regardless of the type of training the means for fixing the elevator 5 preferably carry positioning pins or are preferably assigned positioning elements. The positioning pins or positioning elements can, in particular, the further clamping element leading edge 22 be directly assigned.
It goes without saying that the elements described for fixing the front edge and the elements for fixing the rear edge can also be designed in a different way. As an alternative to the formation of force-fitting elements, it also proves to be advantageous if the elements for fixing the front edge and / or the elements for fixing the rear edge for form-fitting fixing of elevators 5 are trained. In this case, in particular hook-shaped or claw-shaped holding elements can be formed, which correspond to recesses in the elevator 5 are trained or engage in support rails that are fixed to the elevator 5 are connected.
The front edge clamping gripper or the rear edge clamping gripper are preferably in a channel of the stripping cylinder 4th stored, which may be spanned by a duct cover.
The stripping cylinder 4th preferably has third openings 32 on that with the elevator fixed 5 at least partially from the elevator 5 formable breakthroughs are covered. The third openings 32 are connected to third air supply means. In the following context, air is understood to mean all forms of system air, ie in particular blown air or suction air, which are suitable in particular to exert a physical effect, such as force, and which can be identified by at least one of the parameters static pressure, dynamic pressure or volume flow. Such air is generated in a manner known per se using compressors, compressors, vacuum pumps, suction pumps or similar components.
The third openings 32 can be supplied with suction air. The air supply is preferably designed to be switchable. Switchability in this sense means in particular the switching between suction air and blown air, it not being important what type of air supply is switched to which type.
The third openings 32 are in the outer surface of the stripping cylinder 4th educated. Preferably the third openings 32 groove-shaped or hole-shaped. By arranging third openings 32 in the outer surface of the stripping cylinder 4th there is preferably a fine-meshed network of elements with which possibly in the elevator 5 trained openings can be supplied with air. The arrangement of the openings in the elevator 5 takes place according to the arrangement of waste part or waste parts 9 one hand or benefit 10th on the other hand. For example, in the area of those third openings 32 breakthroughs in the elevator that are trained in the area of utility 5 be formed. This proves to be advantageous if the stripping cylinder 4th to transport the benefits 10th should be used.

Is the use of the stripping cylinder 4th for the transport of waste parts 9 are provided, preferably in the area of those third openings 32 that in the area of waste parts 9 Openings are formed in the elevator 5 educated. These measures can benefit 10th or waste parts 9 treated differently, or on the outer surface of the transport cylinder 3rd or its elevator 5 be fixed. Sharing the benefits 10th or waste parts 9 can by blowing air on the third openings 32 get supported.
The details of the air supply to the third openings 32 are not shown separately and are described below with reference to the design of the air supply means 14 , 15 on the transport cylinder 3rd described. The air supply means for supplying the third openings 32 preferably comprise a rotary slide valve or a rotary inlet. The rotary slide valve or the rotary inlets is preferably on the end face of the transport cylinder 3rd trained or assigned to this. The rotary slide valve or the at least one rotary inlet preferably comprises a disk 18th which is one of the end faces of the stripping cylinder 4th assigned. In the disc 18th a recess X is formed, which is preferably a segment of a circle, coaxial to the axis of rotation of the stripping cylinder 4th extend. The recess is through a fourth feed nozzle 53 supplied with air. The recess is on the stripping cylinder 4th facing side of the disc 18th educated. The recesses are in the circumferential direction of the disc 18th not continuous but rather can be broken, so that several in the circumferential direction of the disc on the same radius 18th considered consecutive recesses are formed. Each recess corresponds in terms of its distance (radius) to the axis of rotation of the stripping cylinder 4th with in the front of the stripping cylinder 4th trained openings 58 . Each of the openings 58 in the front of the transport cylinder 3rd communicates via further lines with either a single or a part or all third openings 32 in the outer surface of the stripping cylinder 4th . Of course, this only applies as long as the respective opening 58 the respective recess depending on the angular position of the stripping cylinder 4th opposite.

The disc 18th faces the stripping cylinder 4th which rotates around its central axis in the operating state, silent. By extending the recesses in the circumferential direction of the stripping cylinder 4th areas of suction or blown air are determined on the outer surface of the stripping cylinder 4th be formed in relation to the angle of rotation.
Superimposed on these effects, the areas of suction or blown air can also be determined by the type of air supply or its connection or disconnection. The area supplied by the third air supply means in accordance with the recess can thus be shortened in that the air supply is switched off at an angle. Likewise, an area supplied by the third air supply means corresponding to the recesses can be divided into at least one suction area and at least one blowing area by switching the air supply between a suction air supply and a blown air supply. The suction area on the outer surface of the stripping cylinder is used 4th for fixation and the blowing area for repelling benefits 10th or waste parts 9 .
