Pattern-plate-change mechanism for chipboard press - has pallet inserted in open press and moved against top and bottom press plates to remove and fit pattern plates

摘要

A changeover pallet (3) accommodates top and bottom pattern-plates (4,5) and is placed on the discharge mechanism in front of the press, being inserted by this mechanism in the press when open. It is then lifted to receive the pattern plate released from the top press plate, and then lowered to take the bottom pattern plate. The pallet and plates are returned to the discharge mechanism, where the plates are deposited. After this, the same or another pallet is loaded with fresh plates, returned into the open press, and lifted and lowered for the plates to be fixed to the top and bottom press plates. USE/ADVANTAGE - For chip- fibre-board and decorative laminate panels. Very rapid changeover using only the work-discharge mechanism.
