Stitcher Feeder Operation
The Stitcher Feeder can be bolted to the infeed of most stitchers to make them operate fully automatically. Guide boards fitted to the stitcher conveyor accurately position filled sacks approaching the feeder. The feeder arm enters the sack top and pulls it into a toothed feed belt, which shapes and feeds it to the stitcher. The Stitcher Feeder bolts directly onto some stitcher pedestals, others require adaption plates.

Sack Specification
Most paper sacks are suitable providing the tops stand open and there is approximately 200mm of ullage(distance from the product in the bag to the top of the sack).

Ticket Dispenser Operation
As an addition, a Single or Double Ticket Dispenser can be bolted to the Stitcher Feeder to automatically apply one or two tickets. The Double Ticket Dispenser can be used to apply single tickets if required.

As standard, dispensers are fitted with a tray for fanfold tickets, but a free running turntable for rolls of tickets can be fitted instead should this be required.
