The mechanism that feeds products into a shrink wrapper requires careful consideration in order to achieve optimum shrink wrapper performance and machine utilization. The infeeds shown here feed products into Extreme shrink wrap machines. All of our infeeds are plug and play, allowing the customer to switch infeeds at will. One wrapper can easily be adapted with different infeeds to fit a wide range of shrink wrapping applications. Every Extreme Packaging Machinery infeed is designed to fit all Extreme shrink wrappers.
In addition to the following infeeds, Extreme Packaging Machinery can build custom infeeds to match your particular shrink wrap application. Extreme high speed automatic wrappers and infeeds are used in packaging applications in industries ranging from food and beverage, retail, medical devices, and pharmaceutical and industrial electronics. Some of the commonly used industry terms that describe infeeds are: Timing Screw infeeds, synchronizing infeeds and collating infeeds, but they all have the same purpose of feeding products to the wrapper.
Extreme infeeds can be fitted with servo control. Servo infeeds provide a higher level of accuracy and repeatability along with much higher speed capability. Servo drives are also impervious to debris and contamination.

| Belt to Belt infeed easily integrates with existing conveyed production lines. Product is received from existing production line conveyor onto the accumulation conveyor and automatically indexed into the shrink wrapper. Infeed also accepts random length products automatically. TEACH Programming,which provides automatic set-up for package length changes, is included.
All infeed controls are available through the shrink wrapper touch screen. Wrapper infeed functions such as start/stop, speed ramping, etc. are seamlessly integrated with shrink wrapping machine functions into one controller.
Infeed can be configured with a slip-torque conveyor to accept product from the customer's conveyor. The product advances and gently accumulates up to the belt-to-belt indexing conveyor. The indexing conveyor advances the product and creates the proper gap prior to entering into the shrink wrapper film wen. Once in the film web the product travels through the cross seal where the bag is formed. |

Dual Chain infeed has a rugged design and offers a solid platform for most products. The wide, flat pushers are ideal for controlling single products, 2-packs and stacked products. Pushers up to 8" tall are available. This infeed can be extended up to 45' in length for use as an assembly conveyor or mounting of multiple friction feeders and hoppers.

Flighted Pin Infeed is ideal for narrow products of 1" wide to the maximum width capacity of the wrapper, the quick change pusher pins are ideal for fast spacing changes. This infeed can be extended up to 45' in length for use as an assembly conveyor or mounting of multiple friction feeders and hoppers. Has a maximum pusher height of 2". |
 |

|
|
|
Flighted Bar infeed is ideal for multi-packs and odd shaped products, offered in 9 to 18 foot lengths. This infeed features adjustable height pusher bars and multiple product spacing choices. |

Gated infeed has a 4' accumulation conveyor, a positive stop product gate, an acceleration conveyor and product pusher pins. It easily adapts to existing product lines. The product is received from the customer's conveyor onto the 4' accumulation conveyor, the product is advanced to the positive stop and placement gate which releases the product in phase with the pusher pins. The product then advances into the film web in phase with the cross seal.
Speed modulation programming provides for automated lines to operate more efficiently by matching machine speed to fluctuations in production speed. All infeed controls are available through the shrink wrapper touch screen control panel.

CBB - Servo Controlled Compression Belt to Belt Infeed |
Brochure |
|
Servo controlled compression Belt to Belt infeed consists of a servo compression belt and multi-belt, which hold back incoming products and accurately indexes the products into the shrink wrapper film web in phase with the traveling cross seal. This infeed will index single products, multi-packs and can handle multiple lanes. This system operates well at low to very high speeds.
This infeed can be configured as a slip-torque to servo belt to flight infeed. Product will arrive to the slip-torque conveyor from the customer's conveyor. The product advances and gently accumulates up to the servo belt indexing conveyor. The servo belt controls moderate back pressure and releases product in phase with the flights. The flights advance the products into the shrink wrapper film web with proper spacing. |

CBF - Servo Controlled Compression Belt to Flight Infeed |
Brochure |
|
Servo controlled compression belt to flight infeed consist of an accumulation conveyor, a servo controlled compression belt, and flighted pusher pins. Products enter onto the accumulation conveyor and advance into the servo compression belt, that controls back pressure and advances the products in phase with the pusher pins. The pusher pins advances the products into the film web in phase with the traveling cross seal.
This infeed can be configured as a slip-torque to servo to flight infeed. This on demand continuous motion system does not run empty bags. The sensor on the slip-torque accumulator monitors incoming product and automatically adjusts the wrapper speed based on the amount of product entering the system. |

FFT - Flighted Fall Through Infeed |
Brochure |
|
|
Flighted fall through infeed is ideal for products such as pizza or baked goods that experience drop off of toppings. This design prevents excessive debris build up that would normally contribute to down time during production, and it also minimizes debris in the finished package. This infeed is constructed of stainless steel and is easy to clean. Debris catch trays are also available with this system. |

GWD - Gated to Flight Washdown Infeed |
Brochure |
|
|
Gated to flight Washdown infeed features stainless steel construction with debris fall through, has removable top covers, round and angled surfaces for ease of cleaning. Includes casters to roll away from the wrapper for washdown. Operates the same as the "G- Series" infeed. |
