What factors to be considered when you choose feeders?

There are many factors that effected the feeders’ selection. And the factors can be separate to objective factors and subjective factors. For objective factors, such as 1. what to be feed on the feeder (plastic bag, paper, label, carton box, cards, tags etc. flat products). 2. What people want to do after feeding. Inkjet printing, labeling, OCR inspection or auto feeding & transport). 3. What is the speed requirement and efficiency; 4. what is the requirement on accuracy. 5. Compatibility and other performance metrics. 6. The product’s min size and max size. For subjective factors, it is very simple and it is to consider cost. 

What feeder is well suit for yourselves?

Firstly, feeder’s usage is extensive, but more than 85% is for code printing. Then let us talk about how to choose one suitable feeder for yourselves in code printing area. At present, popular code printing technology is inkjet printing, laser marking, TTO thermal printing, labeling etc. generally speaking, the feeders for inkjet printing, labeling and laser marking are similar to each other (all are contactless to the product). The product feed one by one through the feeder then transport to the conveyor for dynamic or static inkjet printing or laser marking. TTO thermal printing requires printing loading roller, printing and running at the same time (it is contact to the product). for labeling, it is to realize labeling during the product running period.
