About this machine
The Herzog & Heymann 272 is a used pile lifter — sometimes referred to as a pile feeder — dating from 1989 and currently located in Germany. Pile lifters are specialist sheet-feeding machines used in the printing and paper-processing industries to separate and feed individual sheets from a stacked pile, enabling downstream equipment such as printing presses, cutters, or folders to run without interruption.
This particular unit is configured as a mobile underfloor suction feeder, meaning it travels beneath the pile and uses suction to lift and separate sheets from the bottom of the stack rather than from the top. It is equipped with its own drive mechanism and a dedicated DV pump to generate the suction required for sheet separation. The inlet width is approximately 50 cm, giving an indication of the sheet sizes the machine is suited to handle.
A key operational feature is its ability to reload paper from above while the machine continues to feed from below. This configuration allows continuous feeding without pauses between pile changes, which is particularly valuable in high-volume production environments where stopping the press or downstream equipment to replenish paper stock would result in costly downtime. The combination of mobile design, integrated drive, and seamless reloading capability makes this machine well suited to demanding sheet-fed production lines.
