Burgess Automated Printing Plate Sortation and Stacking for Printing Plate Transport Systems

Printing Plate Sortation and Stacking Stations
Plate scratching is a common problem that occurs with traditional manual sorting, stacking, and transport of “press ready”plates. Burgess has developed multiple plate management options to minimize or eliminate this issue when plate delivery directly press-side is not a viable option. Automated plate sorter-stacker stations are available in a variety of styles.

Single Level Sortation-Stacking Stations
Single Level Sort-Stacking Stations are available In 30”, 40”, 60”, and 75” standard sizes. Plates travel along the sorter-stacker transport modules on protective wheels until it reaches the correct sensor for the bin/cart it is destined for and the wheels drop placing the plate on delivery belts. The belts then transfer the plate Into the appropriate stacking bin/cart to the left or the right. Each station comes standard with two bins/carts. Each bin/cart will hold 16 to 20 plates depending upon size and bend geometry. Pop-up pins square the plate on each transport module along the way. Optional bin/carts with wheels are available for final transport to press. Any number of single level sort-stacking stations can be linked together.

Dual Level Sort-Stacking Stations
Dual-Level Sort-Stacking Stations are identical to the single level sort-stack stations in design and function but are stacked two high; the lower level at 24” and the upper level at 48”. The upper and lower levels are fed by a vertical multi-level plate transport indexing elevator which delivers one to four plates at a time to the correct sort-stack level depending on the system configuration and volume requirements. The stack bins are fixed to the sort-stack station. Any number of dual-level sort-stacking stations can be linked together. more...

Flat Plate Stackers
Flat Plate Stackers are available in 36”, 40” and 48” standard sizes. As the plate exits the processor, the conveyor is energized and the plate moves into the stacking position. Once in the stacking position, the stacker arms flip the plate, emulsion down, onto the transport cart. Each cart can hold up to 150 plates. Additional carts can be used for storage, staging or continuous transportation.
