A sheet material handling apparatus includes a collator conveyor, a hopper, and a sheet material handling assembly. The sheet material handling assembly removes sheet material articles from the hopper, folds the sheet material articles, creases the sheet material articles, and deposits the sheet material articles on the conveyor. The sheet material handling assembly includes a rotatable drum having grippers which grip a sheet material article. A folder assembly forms a fold in a central portion of the sheet material article while the sheet material article is held by the grippers and the drum is rotated. A creaser assembly creases the fold during continued rotation of the drum. The gripper assembly is then operated to release the sheet material article for movement toward the conveyor. Thereafter, the creaser assembly releases the sheet material article and the sheet material article is deposited on the conveyor.

ppareil de manutention d'articles en feuilles comprenant un convoyeur, un silo et une unité de manutention d'articles en feuilles. L'unité de manutention retire les articles en feuilles du silo, les plie, imprime un pli permanent et les dépose sur le convoyeur. L'unité de manutention d'articles en feuilles comporte un cylindre rotatif avec des pinces qui retiennent un article. Une unité de pliage forme un pli dans la partie centrale de l'article pendant qu'il est retenu par les pinces et que le cylindre tourne. Une unité de pliage permanent imprime un pli permanent durant la rotation continue du cylindre. L'unité de pinces est alors engagée pour libérer l'article en feuilles qui se dirige vers le convoyeur. Par la suite, l'unité de pliage permanent libère l'article qui est déposé sur le convoyeur.
