CONTINUOUS VIBRATION STAKING MACHINES

FOREWORD:

' BUKE ' Continuous Vibration Staking Machine has been designed to soften the leather by staking operation. It provides a vigorous mechanical action on the leather and pulling the fibres apart so that they are permanently free from the stresses imparted during previous processes. It also helps in opening and spreading the leather thus enlarging its surface area remarkably.

The entire machine is designed and developed indigenously at our works only. The complete frame structure is fabricated from graded steel and having high rigidity to withstand against vibrations during staking operation.

The machine can be used for staking any type of leather in its proper condition having the required water content. The thickness of leather must not exceed 3.2 mm. Two pieces of leather upto 1.5 mm thick each, can be feed for staking simultaneously unless they are too stiff.

After feeding the leather on table and bottom conveyor, it passes through the working area between top and bottom conveyor. The leather is pulled in all directions during staking operation in which the leather is staked in between upper and lower staking pins results in uniform staking effect.

The intensity of staking can be adjusted by changing the position of upper pin plate with the help of hand wheel provided on the top beams. This arrangement is suitable for staking leathers with different fibre strength, density, thickness and stiffness.

The Conveyor belts are driven by a 2 HP heavy duty infinitely variable mechanical speed variator. The speed of the conveyor belts can be varied infinitely from 6 meters / min to 18 meters / min.

The operator's safety is carefully ensured by means of following.:
a) Guards provided on all driving mechanisms and rotating parts.
b) All electric motors are provided with overload relays.
c) The machine is fitted with a special device that prevents undesirable objects from entering into the machine.

As an additional safety, the conveyor is also provided with a facility of reverse rotation if required by the operator in case of emergency.
