Servo-Driven Rotary Placer Benefits

Operational Efficiency
  • The design allows for tracking of the target product or carrier and delivers precise placement 
  • Servo-controlled – random flow or fixed pitch applications for integration with existing packaging lines 
Brand & Marketing
  • No friction is introduced in the handling of product, which preserves product integrity for high gloss and delicate products 
Convenience
  • Cantilevered frame allows machine to roll up to existing conveyor or folder gluer 
  • Casters for improved mobility and adjustable foot pads
