Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a handling system (1) for transferring printing plates (2) from a multiple plate stack (3) to an imaging system (4). The handling system (1) comprises a printing plate loader (5) for moving an upper plate of a multiple plate stack (3) to an imaging system (4). The handling system (1) further comprises an interleave paper remover (7). The interleave paper remover (7) comprises a lifting unit (8) for lifting a corner of a plate that is in the upper position on the stack (3) . Further, the interleave paper remover (7) comprises a body (9) provided with a running surface (9s) comprising high frictional material, the body (9) being insertable into a gap formed between the lifted plate corner and a next plate and being arranged for frictionally contacting an interleave paper (6) sticking to a lower surface of the upper plate, so as to peel off the interleave paper (6) from the upper plate.
