  • the limit stops are provided at a predetermined distance D from the running surface of the flat objects on the top of the housing.
  • the operation of the microswitch is interrupted when the bottom plate moves away from the stroke limit stops and a minimum distance a min to the stops is exceeded.

  • the pressure module has a gas-filled shell as part of the Pressure device, preferably an air-filled rubber-elastic bellows system.

  • the pressure surface can quickly adapt to its shape, solely by the fact that tension springs tensioned between the base plate and a floor frame become effective. Due to the air pressure in the bellows system, the pressure surface of the bellows can re-attach itself to the transport flat strap belt in a timely manner after the mail piece. As a result, smaller distances (gaps) between the postal goods are possible and a high throughput is achieved. This is an advantage over a pressing device with brush elements, especially when processing mixed mail of different thicknesses.
