FEEDING OF LOOSE SHEET MATERIAL

摘要

In a feeding apparatus (3) for feeding loose sheet material, in particular banknote stacks, to a sheet-material separator (2), a package-band removal station (4) is provided along a transport path (11), which package-band removal station (4) removes the banknote stacks (19) which are to have their package bands removed from compartments (13) transported along the transport path (11) by means of a gripper (20) and feeds them to a package-band remover (22), where the package bands are severed by means of a cutting device (25), removed by means of a stripping device (26) and disposed of, wherein the sheet material which has had its package band removed is subsequently placed back into the compartments (13).
