CLOSING AND LEVELLING

Manual and automatic lockstitch closing

The automatic closing machines are expressly realized for the closing of the cushions through automatisms. These composed by one or two sewing heads connected to a frame with motorized axes. The movements necessary for the sewing operations are controlled by a PLC and a touch screen with intuitive graphics, making it easier for operators to use.

In the semi-automatic version, the operator inserts the cushion to the gripping elements and initiates the start through a two-hand command.

Both versions can be equipped with two sewing heads on a quick-change rotary table. This method is very useful into automatic lines with Lockstitch closure. In that case one sewing head is working while the second one is in maintenance or spool changes, with no idle time.

In the automatic version, the insertion takes place through the use of an anthropomorphic robot.

Further configurations are available to be combined with the filling machines according to their hourly production.

Pillow leveling

The ALAN FLEX LEVEL S is the one dedicated to level pillow, cushions and small padded items. The machine is composed of a frame with belt where pillow pass under one vertical axes with customized tool. After the leveling axe, two counter-rotating brush rollers with one dust extractor hood clean the pillow and let it out the machine. One aspiration fun with filter ad dust collectors is available as optional.

All leveling parameter are adjustable such as the rotation speed or brushes.  The leveling tools is easily replaceable. Operator can easily set up the machine by the use of a touch screen. Each kind of pillow are processed in customized way.

Metal detection

The metal detector is used to avoid the broken needle or small metal parts will be delivered inside the pillows. One of the main topics in the quality control of pillow manufacturing is the prevention of metal contamination. Such a piece of equipment is usually placed on a conveyor belt where the cushions move along the manufacturing plant. The metal detector is coupled with a automatic scrap flap to maintain high line performance and at the same time avoid human intervention.

Pillow shells can be stocked in a fully automatic vertical warehouse in order to optimize the space occupancy, the material pick up and the warehouse level management. Feel free to ask us about a proposal in order to optimize the inner material flow logistic.

UV processing

UV PROCESSING machine satisfy the needs of customer to reduce and stabilize the bacteria threshold into pillow produced. UV lamps are used inside enclosure where pillows are moved into with a belt conveyor. Slide doors close the UV chamber during process. Exposition time change according filling material and textile employed to produce pillow.
