Stop feeding manuals and leaflets one by one: an auto feeder that separates single sheets

Problem: thin paper goes out two sheets at a time

At this site, workers fed the manuals and leaflets that go into product boxes by hand, one sheet at a time. Thin, light paper easily goes out two sheets at once when fed by hand.

By hand, the pace varies even within a single day, and it is hard to keep count of how many sheets went out.

Solution: stack it and get one sheet at a time with an auto feeder

An auto feeder is automatic sheet-feeding equipment: just stack the paper and it separates and sends out one sheet at a time from the bottom.

• A belt conveys the separated sheets one after another at even intervals.
• A laser sensor detects each passing sheet.
• Speed is easily adjusted with a dial.
• A counter shows the number of sheets fed at a glance.
• A signal tower shows the operating status even from a distance.

Result: anyone can run it with a few buttons

It runs with just a few buttons, so even a first-time operator can use it right away. Feed speed and quantity become consistent, which also steadies the flow of the next process.

If you need to print an expiration date or lot number on the separated sheets, the IPS-PCI220, which combines an auto feeder and an inkjet marking machine, can handle separation and printing in one unit.

Suitable for sites like these

• Sites feeding thin single sheets such as manuals, leaflets and flyers
• Sites separating folding cartons, poly bags or bands one at a time for the next process
• Sites that need an accurate count of fed items
