Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transporting envelope blanks in an envelope making machine according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • Envelope blanks or die cuts are used in envelope making machines to carry out various manufacturing steps through different, one after the other arranged stations transported.
  • the envelope cuts go through a printing station, a window gluing station, a side flap folding station, a bottom flap folding station and a drying station.
  • EP 0 502 687 A1 describes a device for transporting envelope blanks known in the side flap folding station of an envelope making machine. There the envelope blanks are transported using several endless belts or belts, which are arranged next to each other with a certain distance are. Due to the resulting gaps between the endless belts becomes ambient air in a suction or vacuum chamber located below the transport level sucked. The envelopes are cut to size on this Endless belt of the known device held in place so that it can the forces occurring in the side flap folding process are not shifted or twisted can be.
  • the disadvantage is that in the case of smaller formats, the one to be produced Envelopes the outer areas of the endless belts and their spaces formed carpet are not used, so that by the Gaps between the endless belts unnecessary air is sucked in, which results in unnecessary energy consumption of the suction fan used Has.

This ensures that not even the im Perforation holes lying outside the transport belt unnecessary ambient air sucked in and accordingly not suction power of the suction fan is being used.
  • the device according to the invention also brings a minimal Format change effort with itself. In essence, only the respective Tool elements of the affected station shifted transversely to the direction of flow become. In the case of the side flap folding station, the folding elements must be moved closer together or further apart.
