LinenStream

The optional LINENSTREAM conveyor is Chicago’s intelligent system for the distribution and flow control of separated linen from the Chicago Pik-Quik. Linen advances as needed along the length of the conveyor to operators who are loading a high speed Chicago Edge Maxx, King Edge or other spreader/feeder or feeding by hand.

LinenStream’s built-in electronic control system automatically and continuously adjusts the speed and amount of ready linen flow to match the supply of incoming separated linen received from Pik-Quik and the speed/ability of feeding operators handling linen at the end of the LinenStream system. LinenStream starts, advances, speeds up, slows down, and stops linen flow as necessary to match current finishing line conditions so that an excess or lack of separated linen does not interrupt feeder productivity.
