Conveyors

Conveyor systems are vital components in modern industries and factories, streamlining the movement of goods and materials. Two common types of conveyors are belt conveyors and roller conveyors, each offering distinct advantages depending on the application.

Friction Feeder Conveyors

Friction feeder conveyors for separating and transporting flat items or semi-flat products—like pouches, cartons, cards, leaflets, and blister packs—with pinpoint precision targeted friction belts pull single items from stacked hoppers and feed downstream lines seamless. By automating product singulation, these systems integrate seamlessly with printers, labelers, and inspection equipment—eliminating manual bottlenecks and boosting batch processing speeds.

Statpack Industries engineers friction feeder conveyors to maximize operational reliability, flexibility, and efficiency on modern packaging lines. Crafted with high-grade components and adjustable speed controls, our feeding systems seamlessly process a wide array of material sizes, shapes, and thicknesses—drastically cutting retooling downtime. Whether driving standalone feeding operations or integrating into high-speed coding and labeling systems, Statpack Industries delivers dependable, end-to-end packaging technology that streamlines workflows, slashes labor overhead, and ensures top-tier product handling.

Features & Characteristics

  • High-Speed & Precision: Friction feeders achieve high operating speeds, with some models handling up to 60,000 cycles per hour and others reaching feed speeds of up to 70 meters per minute. They feature high-resolution cameras or sensors for immediate detection of jams or misalignments, allowing for precise, continuous feeding.
  • Versatile Handling: These systems are engineered to handle a wide range of materials, including paper, leaflets, brochures, greeting cards, CDs, envelopes, and pouches.
  • Modular & Customizable Design: Their modular design allows for easy installation, expansion, and integration into existing production lines, such as packaging or mailing systems. They often feature adjustable product magazine side guides and variable speed controls.
  • Robust Construction & Components: Typical units are built with all-anodized aluminum frameworks and permanently lubricated ball bearing journals to ensure long-lasting durability, often designed for 24-hour duty cycles.
  • Advanced Control Systems: Many units feature PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) interfaces, user-friendly control panels, and servo motors, making them easy to adjust for different product sizes and thicknesses (0.2–10 mm).
  • Optional Features: Additional options often include hot melt glue systems, barcode scanners, and batch counting/totalizing capabilities.

Applications & Usage

  • Packaging Automation: Feeding items like coupons, packets, or brochures into wrappers or cartons.
  • Printing & Coding: Feeding flat items (pouches, cartons, bags) into inkjet printers for batch code or date printing.
  • Labeling & Tipping: Feeding cards, labels, or samples for tipping onto products or into magazines.
  • Collating & Sorting: Separating documents, letters, or plastic cards for sorting systems.
  • Pharmaceutical/Medical: Dispensing pamphlets, leaflets, or patient information inserts into packaging lines.
