"SSA 45"      
IN-LINE STRIP SEPARATING AND FEEDING UNIT
                                                 

This system is composed of a group of machines located at the output side of the splitting machines. It permits the two parts (upper and lower) of the just sawn strips to be separated, turning the top part over and feeding the downstream production line in one of the following ways:
1) the two parts proceed side-by-side;
2) the two parts proceed in single file, one behind the other;
3) the two parts are moved sideways and then introduced, side-by-side, into a processing line that works in the opposite direction of the preceding line;
4) the two parts are moved sideways and then introduced, in single file, one behind the other, into
a processing line that works in the opposite direction of the preceding line.
The system is designed to handle strips with maximum widths equal to 450 mm, maximum length 2,000 mm, minimum length 350 mm, maximum thickness of stacked strips 30+30 mm, minimum thickness 12+12 mm. The ingoing speed into the system's processing line is proportional to the length of the strips being moved since all  movement performance times are standard. The lowest speed is with strips that are 350 mm long and is not, in any case, less than 1 mt/min.
