Friction Feeder for Bags: Custom Widths, Any Coder — A Complete Feeding Solution

Feeding bags by hand is slow, inconsistent, and a contamination risk you don't need. A friction feeder changes all three at once.

What you're looking at is a stainless steel friction feeder built for flat bags and pouches — the kind of machine that sits at the front of a packaging line and does the unglamorous but critical job: separating stacked bags one by one and delivering them onto the belt at a steady pace. The adjustable side guides and feed tray handle different bag sizes without tooling changes, and here's the part that matters for a coding line: the feeder is built to carry whatever marking equipment you run. The version behind it shows the setup in practice — an overhead arm holding sensors and printheads aimed straight at the belt, so each bag gets coded as it passes. TTO, CIJ, or laser, it's a mounting question, not a redesign. We build these in different widths to match your bag dimensions, from small snack pouches up to large flat bags. Same frame, same logic, scaled to your product.

When feeding and coding work as one unit, you take two variables off the line at once: manual handling and missed codes. Tell us your bag size and your coder, and we'll match the width and the mounting accordingly. That's the kind of integration that pays for itself in the first season.
