SPAFO

Machine for emptying the pockets of sand-filled film:

The reel with the pocket film to be emptied is hooked into the device at the start of the machine.

If a Böckenhoff film winding system is used, this can also be hooked into the device via an adapter (see SPAFO accessories).

The film must be manually threaded once through the entire machine to the reel at the end of the machine.

The additional film should be fed to the machine by knotting it to the existing film.

Care must be taken to ensure that the knots pass through the middle of the machine and are not cut by the blades.

The sand-filled pockets of the film are separated lengthways by the blade unit.

The speed of the machine can be infinitely adjusted by means of a rotary potentiometer via an additional control terminal; the unwinding and rewinding speeds adapt automatically.

The sand is removed from the film by the two beaters.

The sand is removed from the machine by a conveyor belt system.

The emptied film is wound onto a special SPAFO reel at the end of the machine (see SPAFO accessories).

The central tube of the reel can be removed using a hydraulically-operated extractor (see SPAFO accessories). The film can then be removed without the need for a core.
