The 1000 series electronic feeder was developed as an electronic feeder replacement for a wide range of mechanical feeders.

The 1000 series feeder uses precision servo systems, combined with the latest generation of ballscrews and specially designed arcual shears, to produce high quality gobs over a very wide production range. The feeder incorporates the successful cascade bowls as standard. Custom plunger ‘cams’ can be simply designed and implemented via a touch screen HMI.

The plunger and tube mechanisms have been designed so that they can be mounted on either side of the spout and the shear mechanism can be mounted at any shearing angle. This allows a much more flexible plant layout without compromising performance.
