Abstract

A method of controlling the entry of flat, flexible material into the compartments of the rapidly rotating spiral compartment stacker is provided whereby the synchronism of the material conveyed to the appropriate compartment in the stacker is checked and the introduction of the front edge of the material is corrected in the case of deviations from a given desired value dependent on said deviation. This method ensures that the material is introduced into the spiral compartment stacker without disruption and without its being damaged.
