Napkin Feeder :

The napkins are fed through the machine using a combination of suction and friction feeds.

Beginning in the self-levelling napkin hopper, about 100 napkins are placed on the hopper tray.  As the napkins are fed from the top of the stack, the tray automatically rises to keep the napkins at the correct height to the feed arm.


 

The feed arm houses 2 suction cups.  As the arm contacts the napkins, the suction cups pick the napkin up, and drop it onto the print platen. 

On the platen, the napkin falls against 2 registration guides that position the napkin for printing. 


 


Discharge & Stacker :

Once foil stamped, the napkin is rolled away from the print area and deposited onto a conveyor belt. 

 


 

The belt quickly accelerates the napkin, shooting it out into a loose stack on the receiving tray.


 


Foil Feed :

The N4 is equipped with an automatic foil feed that advances the foil between print cycles.

Adjustable from 1" ~ 4", rolls of foil up to 1,000 feet long are mounted on the foil unwind.

The foil passes below two collapsible foil guides.

 

 


 

As the head releases from the print cycle, a micro-timed air blast separates the napkin and foil.

A take-up roll rewinds the used foil behind the print head


  


Print Head :

A t-ton pneumatic print head delivers ample stamping power.  The power is efficiently distributed by the print head's dual-ram system that evenly disperses the pressure across the 4" x 4" print area.


 

An adjustable pressure control enables the operator to apply more or less pressure with a simple twist of the adjustment knob.


  


Control Panel :

The control panel features a touch-sensitive screen to adjust :

  • Count & Batch Count

  • Adjust Dwell Time

  • Start

  • Stop

A separate temperature control, hopper up / down switch, and emergency stop button complete the system.


 


Chase :

The chase is inserted into 2 rails that sit on the bottom of the print head.  Sliding the chase into the lower rail centers the chase to beverage-sized napkins, while the upper rail centers it to luncheon sized napkins.
