The choice of the feeding system for a saw is at least as important for the saw capacity as the actual saw or the destacking system. For the large number of different panel materials Anthon can offer many different feeding systems. Even very thin or wavy panels can be fed without any problems when selecting the suitable feeding system with the corresponding measuring device. Vacuum, nip-roll, and push feeders or a combination of feeding systems are available from Anthon.

Feeding with vacuum is the preferred method for conveying delicate materials. It prevents scratches, automates counting of different book heights and is the ideal solution for wavy panels. Different designs allow efficient receiving and delivering of protection boards and stack changes without loss of time.

Nip-roll feeders are particularly suitable for fast, continuous feeding of panels. In combination with a lifting device and a push-feeder, thin panels can be fed one by one or as books. Intermediate buffering devices for rest stacks allow almost uninterrupted feeding when chancing stacks.

Push-feeders with height measuring devices directly at the stack are offered either as internal or external feeding options. Internal push-feeders are mounted at the positioning feeder, external push-feeders are mounted on separate push-off frame.
