ALfeeder

ALfeeder is an advanced microprocessor-controlled continuous operation, batch count, or single shot friction feeder for sheets, flat cartons and cards available in 250mm and 400mm versions.


Friction Feeding Machine

ALfeeder friction feeders are microprocessor controlled hopper feed units, for flat products such as cartons, sheets and sleeves, configurable to operate in either a continuous feed, batch feed or single-shot operation.

ALfeeder is available in two model widths; ALfeeder 250 for products up to 250mm width, and ALfeeder 400, for products up to 400mm width, and thanks to a powerful stepper motor drive system, can reach a variable linear feed speed of up to 70m/min.

Product is separated via precision counterrotating rollers and hopper vibration, with micro-adjustments on both the left and right side, which make the feeder extremely flexible and configurable in its setup for many flat even product types.

However, it is the microprocessor controller, which is based on the same architecture as our core label applicator products, which really differentiates ALfeeder from competitor products, allowing the machine to be configured in three specific modes of operation as follows:

ALfeeder in Detail

Feeding at a definable linear speed, continuously dispensing products without any intelligence control; commonly referred to as Inkjet (IJ) and tabbing feeders in the mailing sector, and ideal for use with a standard label applicator.

The system can pulse feed a defined quantity of product either continuously or on signal start input.

The feeder can feed a single product on-demand; e.g. into an index operation process OR with a trigger start sensor, to place a product; e.g. a leaflet into a box.

ALfeeder includes the ability to save up to 40 individual product setup recipes, allowing optimisation between products and repeatable setup. This feature is particularly useful when combined with a TIJ batch/date code printer, which can be fitted directly to the outfeed chute of the machine to provide a highly cost-effective offline batch coding system; e.g. for cartons and sleeves, with collection tray and desk mount legs.

ALfeeder can either be supplied a standalone feeder for integration with your 3rd party packaging machine or mailing line; or as part of a larger product handling solution either for labelling, coding or both, with vacuum conveyors and shingle collections conveyors, to provide a turn-key offline solution.

Proven modular print and apply label application solutions for any barcode identification/traceability requirement.
