Over the years, the printing industry has made remarkable progress at the technical level. One of the innovations has completely changed the way the industry operates – this is the Pile Turner technology. The original design was intended to replace the manual operation of flipping paper stacks. Nowadays, this device has developed multiple functions, including ventilation, dust removal, drying, alignment and jogging. This article will delve into the functions, advantages and industry position of SMH, a market-leading brand that has continuously led the development of this technology since 1982.

The paper flip machine is a widely used device in the printing and papermaking industries, mainly used to achieve the automatic stacking and arrangement of paper. Its functions cover operations such as removing static electricity, flattening edges, inflating and fluffing, and aligning corners. This type of equipment can handle paper materials of various sizes and weights, and has good adaptability from thin and light to thick and heavy.
How does it work,Pile Turner?
The basic working principle of a paper flip machine is to lift and flip the paper pile through a clamping device, and then reposition it in the opposite direction. The lifting mechanism is usually driven by a hydraulic system or an electric motor, providing sufficient power to complete the lifting and flipping actions of the paper pile. Depending on the specific model and the design of the manufacturer, the equipment can support manual operation or fully automatic control systems.
The functions of the SMH pile driving machine
SMH is a well-known brand of pipe pile machines in China, specializing in the research and development as well as manufacturing of pipe pile equipment. Its products are renowned for their simple operation, strong durability and long service life. The SMH pile driving machine has the following core functions:
