Air Assist High Capacity Sheet Feeder:
The High Capacity Sheet Feeder now has an option to add 4 air fans to assist with sheet separation for difficult
materials. All High Capacity Sheet Feeders will be delivered “Air Assist Ready” so the fans can be added in the
future if required.
The Air Assist Kit cannot be fitted to older DS1200G3 Hi-Capacity Sheet feeder.
If Air Assist is required for older systems, the G4 Hi-Capacity Sheet Feeder module will need to be fitted.
The new Air Assist High Capacity Sheet Feeder module is backwards compatible with older DS-1200G3 models.
Cut in s/n for G4 Air Assist: SAZ0499
