Abstract
The apparatus includes a suspended locating element against which the stack of sheets is urged and compacted, and a separator mechanism, set apart from the locating element at a distance matching the depth of a compacted ream, the sharp edge of which approaches and penetrates the stack; the separator mechanism is mounted by way of a damper to a drive system that traverses the entire assembly toward the infeed station of the wrapping machine while the remainder of the stack is held and compacted by a separately anchored mechanism to avoid the topmost sheets being dragged along with the separated ream.
