Product & Package Handling

Kirk-Rudy, Inc. - Product & Package Handling Product Image

The KR725 Bag Feeder is designed to feed difficult large flat bags one at a time from a stack onto a vacuum conveyor for printing, and/or labeling. The pick-and-place suction cup mechanism removes the top bag off a stack that is a maximum of 7-in. tall and accommodates bags that do not stack evenly. The automatic stack loader is designed so one operator can load a stack of bags while a previously loaded stack is already being fed into the unit, providing for continuous feeding.
