Friction feeders are capable of inserting a variety of ancillary or primary products from paper sheets to packaged product on various packaging lines with end user goods in the packaging, printing, pharmaceutical, and food industries. This machinery is typically operating at much higher velocities to complement and match main production line speeds but also used in stand alone operations as needed.
