Feed canisters quickly with this machine
The CDFI Canister Feeder (photo) is an intermittent-motion machine for inserting desiccants or oxygen absorbers into a broad range of bottles, jars, tubes and vials. The latest addition to the company’s Impact series of packaging equipment, the compact, low-cost unit can accommodate up to 100 containers per min. The CDFI Canister Feeder accurately dispenses single or multiple canister drops with a simple selector switch. It features a simple set-up, and accepts canisters from all major manufacturers. Among the CDFI Canister Feeder’s key attributes are its ease of use and versatility: the unit does not require bottle-change parts and, with the appropriate tooling, can accommodate various-sized canisters from 1, 2 and 3 g. Changeover takes less than 5 min, and the machine can be supplied with a 5-gal canister reservoir or 10-gal hopper with elevator. — Omega Design Corp., Exton, Pa.
