Feeding systems

Coding products and packaging directly in a production line is often an efficient choice, but it is not always the best solution for all applications. In some cases, off-line coding with feeding systems is a better option, offering increased flexibility and reliability where it is needed most.

Questions & Answers (FAQ) about Feeding systems

A feeding system is a solution for marking products outside the regular production line. It feeds flat packages or products and presents them for labelling or coding. This can be done quickly and automatically, without requiring a conveyor belt, making the system flexible for different volumes and applications.

Feeding systems handle a wide range of flat packaging, including flexible materials and products of varying thickness, making them ideal for companies using a variety of packaging materials, such as cardboard, bags and labels.

Feeding systems provide increased flexibility and efficiency by reducing the need for manual marking and creating a faster process for high-volume coding. In addition, they can be integrated with multiple labelling and coding technologies, such as TTO, CIJ and labelling, reducing downtime.

Yes, feeding systems are scalable and work equally well for small and medium-sized productions as for large volumes. There are cost-effective models like the RF Lite for smaller production needs and advanced systems for more regulated or high-volume industries.

Feeding systems are built for long-term durability and require only basic maintenance, such as cleaning and inspection of moving parts. Regular inspection of feeding mechanisms and encoders ensures that the system continues to perform optimally.

Coding products and packaging directly in a production line is often an efficient choice, but it is not always the best solution for all applications. In some cases, off-line coding with feeding systems is a better option, offering increased flexibility and reliability where it is needed most.

Our feeding systems use a variety of feeding methods, allowing us to handle even the most challenging flat packaging, including flexible packaging and those with varying thicknesses. Feeding systems, or dispensing systems, are perfect for coding text, batch codes, QR codes, date marking. Additionally, our systems are compatible with several other coding, marking and labelling solutions, including TTO, CIJ and Print & Apply label applicators.

Why choose Feeding Systems?

If you don't have a production line with conveyor belts but still handle larger volumes of products or packaging that need to be marked with ink or labels, a feeding system could be the perfect solution. It eliminates the need for manual handling without requiring a large investment in full-scale automation.

Our RF range is designed to handle all types of flat products and packaging. These systems can be customized with different coding and marking methods to meet your specific needs, whether your production is small, medium or large.

Innovation and quality from Rotech Feeding Systems

All Rotech feeding systems are designed and built in the UK to strict standards. Our range ranges from the cost-effective RF Lite, perfect for small food businesses looking to automate date labelling, to our advanced RF Compliance, specifically designed for the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry.

The benefits of Feeding Systems

  • Industry-leading speed: Systems from Rotech can code a day's production in less than an hour, which is significantly faster than manual labelling.
  • Increased productivity: Reduced labor requirements free up resources for other tasks.
  • Scalability: Many of our feeding systems can be supplied with layering conveyors, enabling a single operator to handle large production volumes.
  • Efficient production management: Quick-adjusting feed hoppers allow product size changes in just seconds, minimizing downtime.

Reliability and performance

Our systems ensure perfect results every time, by presenting the product in exactly the same way with every coding. With a capacity of up to 25 products per day, you can be sure that your production remains smooth and uninterrupted.

All feeding systems from Rotech are built with high-quality materials and components designed for long-term durability.

Tailor-made solutions for your needs

Rotech designs and manufactures all of its systems in-house, giving you complete flexibility to develop a solution that suits your specific needs. This is particularly useful for companies producing seasonal or special editions, where coding and labelling smaller batches requires flexibility.
