This option can be fit onto any Braun large piece folder model and is 120″ or 130″ width specific
This option can only be used for hand feed folders and must be removed if the folder is to be used with a feeder or ironer
The configuration is mechanical and includes the addition of a single lane sheet spread bar under the infeed conveyor roller
A doffer roll is installed just above the conveyor to help hold items secure to the conveyor while being fed by hand

Braun large-piece stackers neatly processes flatwork from the Folder and maintain the quality of the fold upon stacking. When a stack reaches the pre-selected item count, it is automatically transferred, either into a queue ready for manual unload, or via conveyor on to a central collection point serving the laundry finishing area. The folder/cross-folder is available with as many as four sorting stackers.
The folder can also be ordered with other accumulation devices and an optional 90° swivel discharge conveyor. (As shown in upcoming slides).

The Braun small-piece accumulator operates as an integral part of a primary folder or folder/cross-folder. By using a multiple drape collection system, the folder cross-folder collects small items in preprogrammed bundle counts, allowing one operator to collect items processed by all lanes.

The Braun Napkin Accumulator (FSNA) is a free standing, caster-mounted accumulator. It accumulates small flatwork goods, such as table napkins, at the rear on dual storage rods in each lane. Napkins are draped in half over the storage rods in stacks of up to 25.
The FSNA, operating with a primary folder or folder/cross-folder, is 120 inches wide and has a five-lane configuration. It is capable of accumulating pieces as large as 24″ x 24″. The Napkin Accumulator is also available in (optional) 130″ working width.
Air blast stacking allows the stack to move only when the count has been reached, resulting in a neat high quality stack.
This accumulator is equipped with complete on-board diagnostics for trouble-free operation.
