Zusammenfassung: | According to the present invention a sheet handling apparatus is provided which comprises a rotary drum (31) with openings at its peripheral wall. A strip (35) with perforations formed therein spirals circumferentially over an outer surface of the drum in a circumferential spiralling direction, such that a screen is formed over the drum. A suction system controls a flow of air through the perforations thereby to attract sheets towards the drum. The strip is biased by means of a tensioning assembly (40,41), which exerts a tensioning force on the strip substantially parallel to the circumferential spiralling direction of the strip. |
