A new high-speed feeding system from GEFRA has been designed for the fast feeding of nuts and washers into OPTISORT inspection and sorting machines – capable of providing the machines with up to 1,200 parts per minute.
This new feeding system requires only a small amount of installation space but is still very efficient. Filling of the feeding system is done by a bunker system with vibrating channel. The output of the feeding device is a continuous gap-less part chain.
