This Baumann BSW 3-1000 AUM is a pile lifter — a machine used in the printing and paper-processing industry to raise, lower, and position stacks of sheets for feeding into or collecting from printing presses and finishing equipment. Pile lifters of this kind are also commonly referred to as pile elevators. Baumann is a well-established name in print-finishing and paper-handling machinery, producing equipment used by commercial printers and packaging manufacturers worldwide.
This particular machine is configured as a pile turner system designed specifically for use with system pallets in conjunction with automatic non-stop feeder and delivery units. It is operated manually, with loading and control carried out from the front, and requires no pit for installation, giving full freedom of placement on the press room floor. A stop with automatic clamping holds the system pallet securely in position, simplifying the exchange of a transport pallet for a system pallet before a print run begins.
The machine is rated for a maximum load capacity of 1,000 kg. Stacking height, including the transport pallet, ranges from a minimum of 775 mm to a maximum of 1,700 mm. The maximum substrate size it accommodates is 740 × 1,040 mm, corresponding to format 3B; the seller notes that 1,060 mm may also be possible, though this format was not yet in use at the time of manufacture in 2004.
A retractable and extendable side ruler allows centred positioning of the stack on the system pallet. The machine is equipped with a reinforced ventilation device, including adjustable ventilation boxes that can be set according to the sheet format being run, as well as a vibration device to assist in the settling and alignment of the pile.
This used example was manufactured in 2004 and is currently located in Germany.
