The World’s first (Patent Pending) Textile Stacking machine for under Garment Dryers.
Designed & Produced by Dekken USA
Stacker Joe is a Textile & T-Shirt Stacking Machine with a horizontal and a vertical linear motion. It is designed to be placed under a Textile & T-Shirt drying oven.
The Process:
The machine senses an item and starts the synchronization with the speed of the dryer. Then the item will be caught by the device “Stacker Joe”. After catching the item, the linear motion moves back to its waiting position.
Stacker Joe can e.g. stack up to 100 T-Shirts.
The operator can choose between two stacking options. One of the two reverses the item and stacks it upside down.
Once the capacity has been reached, it automatically discontinues the stacking and moves the stack to a location, where an operator can comfortably pickup the stack.
Advantages:
+) SJ is ideal for shops when many items are produced while screen printing or direct-to-garment printing.
+) In most cases, after the drying process, the item falls into a container. This results in wrinkled garments and is considered to reduce the overall presentation of same.
Alternatively, an operator can be employed, but that adds to the cost of manufacturing.
+) The shirts are typically placed on the dryer in the same direction. When stacked that way, the next step in the process (e.g. folding) can be done faster and easier, implying significant time savings.
+) Low footprint, as it is placed partially under the dryer.
+) Only 120 Volt AC required.
