Feeder
The feeder enhances efficiency by allowing the next bag to be prepared while the system is running. Designed with an ergonomic working height, it ensures employee comfort and makes it easy to empty containers. With a capacity of approximately 0.5 m³ and a “next bag” function, the feeder enables seamless bag processing without interruption.
Singulator
Accepts CAN, PET, LPB and glass in the same system. A rotating disc lines up containers one by one on the transport belt and transports containers to the next module.
Recognition unit
Recognize and verify containers with TOMRA Flow Technology™. Every single container is recognized, verified, and sent to the defined destination.
