An
Automatic Product Loader (APL) is used to decrease the labor cost involved
with repeatedly filling the friction feeder product-holding magazine. During
high-speed feeding, an APL can be a great cost/time saver. The APL uses a
horizontal conveyor system to support the products being handled and to gently
fill the friction feeder as needed. The communication between the APL and the
friction feeder's computer ensure that the transfer occurs smoothly and that
the operator is alerted when the APL is running low on products. The alert is
a blinking yellow light on the friction feeder, which gives the operator time
to add products so that production levels are maintained.
The APL uses
a horizontal conveyor system to support the products being handled and to
gently fill the friction feeder as needed. A Sensor is mounted in the in-feed
magazine of the feeder. Once the product level falls below a pre-set level,
the sensor will signal the loader to replenish the feeder in-feed magazine.
A reversed APL configuration.
The
Automatic Product Loader can be positioned in a standard configuration in line
with respect to the feeder. Other standard configurations include a right
angle mount and 180 degree angle mounts are available. Multifeeder has created
many other configurations to meet specific customer needs. Multifeeder
Technology® is an engineering company, and given an opportunity, we will
create a solution to meet your needs.
