Counting friction feeder is a machine that can automatically separate and dispense flat products from a stack, one at a time, while simultaneously counting each item as it feeds them through, making it ideal for applications where precise quantities of items need to be dispensed, like in packaging or labeling processes. It can also feed individual sheets of paper or other materials into a printing press, envelope-stuffing machine, or other processing equipment. Friction feeders use a combination of friction, vacuum, and other mechanisms to grip and move the material through the feeding process.
Key functions of a counting friction feeder
Friction feeder has many functions :
- Separates products: Uses friction between the products and the machine’s belts to individually peel products off a stack.
- Counts items: Integrates a counting mechanism to accurately track the number of products dispensed.
- Dispensing: Delivers each product individually to the next stage of the production line.
- Batching: Can be programmed to dispense specific quantities (batches) of products.
Typical applications for a counting friction feeder:
The following are some of its representative application markets, and there are many more usage occasions :
- Packaging lines: Feeding items like leaflets, brochures, greeting cards, envelopes, or small boxes into packaging machines.
- Labeling systems: Accurately feeding labels for application onto products
- Card dispensing: Dispensing credit cards, gift cards, or loyalty cards
- Document processing: Feeding documents like forms or invoices into a printing or scanning system
- Pharmaceutical industry: Counting and dispensing small pharmaceutical inserts or pouches
