09-0146A – Continental Girbau Shuttle Maintenance Kit, FT-Maxi/Navette

The 09-0146A is a specialized maintenance kit designed for the shuttle ("Navette") mechanism on Continental Girbau FT-Maxi towel folders. The FT-Maxi is a high-volume drywork folder that utilizes a moving shuttle system to sort and stack towels, gowns, or pads into different lanes based on size. This kit contains the essential components—typically belt guides, actuators, or rollers—required to service this critical sorting assembly.

Maintaining the shuttle module is vital for preventing stack misalignment and sorting errors. This genuine OEM kit ensures the shuttle moves smoothly between stacker stations, allowing the machine to maintain its rated throughput of up to 900 pieces per hour without jamming or rejecting valid items.

Maintenance Tip: Regularly clean the shuttle tracks and sensor eyes; lint buildup in this moving assembly is the primary cause of shuttle positioning errors and false jam alarms.
