Fleetwood’s ALF 240 Automatic Lid Feeders give filling companies the speed and efficiency to meet the demands of high-speed lines. The ALF is loaded with bags of lids and automatically removes each paper bag and then feeds the lids to the filling line. With hundreds of layout options, including various feed tables or bag depalletisers, the ALF 240 system can meet most layouts or capacity requirements.
Bagged sleeves of can lids are manually loaded onto the ALF’s feed table to allow for continuous production with only periodic operator interaction. The feed table automatically indexes on demand and supplies individual sleeves to the ALF. One by one, sleeves are automatically fed and oriented to an optimum cutting position. In a smooth continuous motion, each bag is cleanly slit along the full length of the bag without touching the lids. The bags are completely removed, and gravity dropped into a scrap bin under the machine.
All Fleetwood equipment is designed around the same customer-focused, reliable, and innovative approach that has made us a leader in the can end market since 1956.
