What is the role of an infeed mechanism?

This is a motorized system designed to bring automatically the top of the bag into the sewing head without any operator. The infeed guides the bag to the sewing head. This device makes it possible for the bag to be sewn automatically.

All Fischbein infeeds are driven by a 184W (0.25HP) motor and belt driven gear box. The motor is equipped with an adjustable pulley allowing easy synchronisation with the sewing head and the conveyor belt speeds.

Very important:
The front section is hinged and spring loaded to allow the passage of various thicknesses of bags, for adjustable belt tension as well as for operator's safety.

They use 19mm wide flat belts for a good grip of the reformed bag top instead of dangerous heavy metallic chains.

The installation of an infeed on an existing machine is easy, even with a trimmer or folder.
