Shuttleworth offers a complete line of automated infeed conveyors for packaging machinery. Our unique Slip-Torque® design, with our low back-pressure roller surface, allows for gentle accumulation and minimizes potential product damage while allowing the wrapper to properly space the products.



SmartFeed®
The low back pressure SmartFeed® controls the line pressure so the wrapper with a metering belt can more accurately place product. This will benefit the user with a more efficient running packaging line.

SmartFeed® Multi-packer
Each Multi-Packer SmartFeed® is designed to release a pattern of multiple products in time with a flighted or belted wrapper infeed. A product stop combined with an adjustable overhead brake control the number of products released to the wrapper.

Gated SmartFeed® and High Speed Gated SmartFeed®
The Gated SmartFeed® & High-Speed Gated SmartFeed® use a product stop to synchronize the release of the product to the flighted infeed of a wrapper. The combination of the low pressure queue area, the speed change, and the product stop, makes for a jam free operation. Gated infeeds operate between rates of 20 to 80 products per minute. The high speed infeed will reach rates of 120 products per minute. The entire SmartFeed® line may be integrated with new OEM machinery or to an existing machine in the field

Servo SmartFeed®
The Servo SmartFeedŽ combines the buffering and the indexing into a single source solution for feeding packaging equipment without the use of devices. This unique Slip-Torque® system monitors production flow and delivers this information to the wrapper for speed modulation. The SmartFeed® automatically synchronizes to the packaging machine so that products are precisely and consistently placed on the infeed of the wrapper or cartoner. This machine is designed for either an industrial or food application and has a Human Machine Interface (HMI) to accommodate variable product sizes.
