Introducing Fleetwood’s Automatic Lid Feeders—your ultimate solution for efficient lid handling. In today’s fast-paced production environment, say goodbye to the tedious and time-consuming task of manually unloading and feeding bagged lids. Our cutting-edge technology is designed to streamline your operations, allowing your team to focus on optimizing filling processes.

Effortless Lid Loading and Handling

With Fleetwood’s ALF 130 and ALF 240 Automatic Lid Feeders, loading bags of lids is a breeze. Simply place the bagged sleeves of can lids onto the feeder’s table, and our system takes care of the rest. The feeders automatically index on-demand, supplying individual sleeves to the ALF for continuous, efficient production with minimal operator interaction.

Experience smooth and worry-free operation as each sleeve is fed in one-by-one, precisely oriented to achieve optimum cutting positions. Our innovative technology ensures that each bag is cleanly slit along its full length without ever touching the lids. After cutting, the bags are fully removed and gravity-dropped into a scrap bin, creating a tidy workspace and improving overall efficiency.

Enhancing Production Capabilities

Fleetwood’s ALF 130 Automatic Lid Feeders are specifically engineered to provide a constant and reliable flow of lids to single infeed can seamers, making them a cost-effective solution for beverage and food processors. On the other hand, the ALF 240 model enhances speed and efficiency for high-speed lines, equipped to meet varying layout and capacity requirements with numerous customizable options.

The ALF 240 system allows for easy coupling with bag feed tables of various sizes, or the feed table can be positioned remotely to provide maximum layout flexibility. For facilities needing extra capacity with minimal operator involvement, an optional bag depalletizer can be integrated into the system.

Minimize Maintenance and Maximize Efficiency

Both models are designed for low maintenance and easy cleaning, guaranteeing peak performance and machine efficiency. By choosing Fleetwood, you’re not just investing in equipment; you’re enhancing your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and ensuring your production lines run smoothly and efficiently.
