If the first air knife 120 does not properly position the divider insert, then the second air knife 125 is activated to displace the divider insert. If after activating the second air knife 125 it does not properly displace the divider insert, then the first air knife 120 and second air knife 125 toggle back and forth to unjam the divider insert, and properly locate it in a cutting position.
