Shanklin Corporation offers a number of infeeds that accumulate and/or collate and feed groupings of product into Shanklin Shrink Packaging Machines. Although some of the infeeds are quite specialized, others can be used on a variety of products. Some of the more frequently used multipacking infeeds are described below.

Harmonic Infeed

Factory modifications to the Harmonic Infeed permit groupings of product to be fed either intermittently or continuously.

Synchronic Infeed

The sophisticated control system of the Synchronic Infeed permits feeding of multiple products into a single flight space for in-line multipacking.

F-1M and F-3M Multipacking Infeeds

Use alternating stops on the infeed conveyors to accumulate groupings of product and then release the groupings automatically into the wrapping machine.

Wide Flight Bar Infeed

Where maximum versatility with minimum changeover time is a primary concern, a manually fed infeed conveyor is often used. The Shanklin Wide Flight Bar Infeed is ideal for this purpose. Product is placed between the flight bars and is carried into the wrapper automatically. Adjustable side guides are quickly set for the width of the products. This infeed is also designed to feed single products and irregularly shaped products.

Timing Screw Infeed

Can be configured to accumulate groupings of product for synchronized delivery to the wrapping machine.
