How Infeed Machines Work

FstSort Infeed Machines automatically transport products from receiving to downstream equipment — stable flow, minimal handling damage.

 

Product Loading: Fresh produce manually or automatically loaded from bins, crates, pallets, or receiving platforms.

 

Product Distribution: Conveyor distributes evenly — prevents overcrowding, ensures smooth flow.

 

Speed Synchronization: Variable frequency drives — synchronize speed with downstream equipment — continuous production, reduced bottlenecks.

 

Gentle Conveying: Food-grade conveyor systems — minimizes vibration, impact, product damage.

 

Automatic Feeding: Delivers products directly to washers, cleaning systems, graders, or other equipment — no manual intervention.

 

Integrated Production Flow: Communicates with downstream via PLC — automatically adjusts speed per production conditions.

 

Applications

 

 

The FstSort feeder is widely used in automated fruit and vegetable processing plants, such as fruit packaging plants, vegetable processing plants, agricultural cooperatives, fresh agricultural product distribution centers, export packaging facilities, and frozen food factories, etc.
