SPAFO

The reel with the pocket film to be emptied is hooked into the device at the start of the machine.

If a Böckenhoff film winding system is used, this can also be hooked into the device via an adapter (see SPAFO accessories).

The film must be manually threaded once through the entire machine to the reel at the end of the machine.

The additional film should be fed to the machine by knotting it to the existing film.

Care must be taken to ensure that the knots pass through the middle of the machine and are not cut by the blades.

The sand-filled pockets of the film are separated lengthways by the blade unit.

The speed of the machine can be infinitely adjusted by means of a rotary potentiometer via an additional control terminal; the unwinding and rewinding speeds adapt automatically.

The sand is removed from the film by the two beaters.

The sand is removed from the machine by a conveyor belt system.

The emptied film is wound onto a special reel at the end of the machine (see SPAFO accessories).

The central tube of the reel can be removed using a hydraulically-operated extractor (see SPAFO accessories). The film can then be removed without the need for a core.

• Outer width: approx. 2500 mm
• Outer height: approx. 2210 mm

• Special reel for winding up the emptied film
  Comprising:
  - 2 x reel plate
    approx. 1200 mm
  - 1 x special tube with notch for locking the hydraulic tube extractor
    approx. 90 mm
    Length: approx. 1800 mm
  - 2 x screw with nut
  - Laquered black
• Hydraulically driven extractor for removing the reel tube
  = Coreless disposal
• Adapter for film winding system Böckenhoff *
• Roll-off frame as platform for the SPAFO machine
• Single-axle hook lift trailer for transport
• Roof/side tarpaulins as weather protection

* Use of other film winding systems on request

NOTE:
The SPAFO machine can also be used for manual filling of pocket film.

• Up to 93% emptying of the pocket film
  = Significant weight reduction of the pocket film to be disposed of
  = Cost saving
• Sand free of microplastics
• Reuse of the collected sand
  = Cost saving
  = Sustainable use of resources
• Recycling of used film
  = Sustainable use of resources

• Coreless film disposal
  Two accessories are sufficient for this:

  - Special reel
  - Hydraulic extractor

  The special reel is hooked into the rear mount of the SPAFO machine.
  The emptied pocket film is then wound onto the special reel.
  The hydraulic extractor can be mounted on a tractor/forklift, from which it is also controlled.
  The extractor is guided inside the reel tube and snapped into the designated notch.
  The tube can now be easily unscrewed, and the emptied pocket film can be disposed of/recycled.
