  • Patent number: 11325364
    Abstract: The invention relates to a litho laminating machine (10) having a frame (18), an accelerator table (20) mounted to the frame (18) so as to be pivotable around a pivot axis (P), a plurality of accelerator rollers (24) mounted on the table (20), and a motor (42) for driving the accelerator rollers (24), characterized in that the motor (42) is mounted to the frame (18), with a rotatable transmission element (30, 36) being mounted so as to have an axis of rotation which coincides with the pivot axis (P), both the motor (42) and the accelerator rollers (24) being connected to the transmission element (30, 36).

  • Patent number: 10167150
    Abstract: A feeder system for feeding a stack (101) of stackable flat, carton elements to a processing device: A delivery ramp (103) includes a receiving surface (104) on which an edge portion (111) and a center portion (116) of the stack (101) is arrangeable. A transport device (125) includes a supporting platform on which at least a further edge portion (115) of the stack (101) is supportable, wherein the supporting platform is arranged adjacent to the receiving surface (104) such that the further edge portion (115) of the stack (101) may be received. A downholder element (117), adjusts a size of a gap (705) between the downholder element and a supporting platform, such that the further edge portion (115) of the stack (101) is clampable between them.
