High-speed partition insertion is nothing without reliability and quality. The SF-400 Quattro follows the same ethos as all of our other partition handling machines; 100% control of the paper at all times. The SF-400 Quattro does not flip open partitions nor drop them into cases. Partitions are controlled by opposing sets of vacuum arms that open the partition to the proper position. The partition is placed into the waiting case via our servo inserter head and is only released when it has been inserted into the correct position in the case.

The servo-driven case exchange precisely places cases at the insertion station to ensure that lightweight, empty cases are exactly where they need to be to guarantee reliable insertions.

Wayne Automation Partition Inserters have a proven track record of performance that has made us the leader in partition handling.

The SF-400 Quattro stands apart not only in speed and reliability, but in the wide array of partition styles the machine can handle—Multi-cell, Air cell, Z-partition, glued-in A-partition and everything in between—in solid fiber or corrugated, shoulder height or mixed heights, in all locking styles.

Speed is also about production changeover. Available T-Tooling allows you to dramatically shrink changeover time with preset partition opener arms that are rapidly exchanged by a single person using the included lift cart. Motorized adjustments are available for magazine and conveyor settings allowing the operator to make one-touch adjustments from the operator control station.

Speed is nothing if your machine is down for lengthy maintenance and repair cycles. The SF-400 Quattro is specifically designed to make maintenance quick and easy. Highly reliabile Allen Bradley servo drives and motors provide trouble-free operation for the case exchange, partition transport and inserter motion. Available automatic grease pumps and airline lubricators ensure lubrication is done correctly all while the machine continues to run. Available Total Planned Maintenance (TPM) provides notification and acknowledgement of routine maintenance and provides pictures and instructions of the task to be performed via the color touch screen HMI.

Standard on the SF-400 Quattro Partition Inserters are Lexan doors equipped with anti-intrusion switches. The vertical traveling inserter head is equipped with redundant safety systems including a pneumatic rotary brake, rod clamp, and a resistive braking module to ensure completely safe entry into the machine when stopped. Remote emergency and cycle stop stations are located around the machine and the status is displayed on the main operator panel.
