About the Rockwool (de)stacker
The Rockwool (de)stacker automates the supply of rockwool blocks to the rockwool line. This means the rockwool line can run continuously.
The Rockwool (de)stacker is produced in such a way that the machine suits your business process perfectly.
Composition and functioning of the rockwool (de)stacker
A rockwool (de)stacker can be expanded with the following parts:
Pallet chain conveyor
For a continuous rockwool line, a pallet chain conveyor is incorporated into the line. The pallet chain conveyor makes it possible to transport a number of pallets filled with rockwool blocks from the chain conveyor to the transplanting frame.
Pallet lift
A pallet lift raises the rockwool blocks to the cardboard removal unit and the rockwool transfer unit.
Cardboard removal unit
The cardboard remover on the rockwool (de)stacker is equipped with suction cups. This is how the cardboard sheets are suctioned between the various rockwool layers. The carboard sheets are then deposited in a steel cage. A pallet can be placed in the cage, so that the sheets are neatly collected and can be disposed of easily. The cardboard remover is fitted to the transfer unit.
Transplanting frame with pallet doors and transfer unit
The transplanting frame on the rockwool (de)stacker ensures that a pallet containing pots is placed straight and locked in. The transfer system wheels the pots from the pallet to the conveyor belt. The pots are then placed on the conveyor by way of a peg system that can destack all pot types.
Buffer belt
The transfer system places the rockwool blocks onto the buffer belt, after which the pots are purged under the pusher. This conveyor is fitted with a smooth belt, and is controlled by a frequency converter. The conveyor bridges part of the transplanting frame.
Pusher
Finally, the rockwool (de)stacker pusher shifts the pots from the buffer belt to the existing belt. Special technology ensures that the pots are pushed tightly together.
As soon as the pots are on the conveyor, the pots are pushed further down the rockwool line.
