Applications

Key benefits

Podmores Vibratory Laning Feeders have been specially developed to help you achieve your quality requirements with minimal operator assistance. Featuring an easy to operate control you can simply adjust to achieve the optimum delivery of product for your requirements. 

Our laning solutions are perfect for feeding enrobing conveyors, making sure products aren’t too close together so that they don’t fuse during enrobing, creating wastage.

They are also the perfect solution for robot picking belt infeed because they create an even and distributed supply of product for the vision system to see clearly the outline of each product.

With a Podmores Laning Feeder you can improve your quality, reduce wastage and better utilise labour by removing the need for a repetitive manual operation.

Proven Technology

Podmores Laning Feeders are found in factories all over the world, from small businesses to household name companies. Podmores Laning Feeders provide the nuts, chocolates and confectionary for enrobing, sausages, burgers, prawns and fish for robot picking and much more, and are trusted in critical production line processes. Their durable design means almost no downtime.

Optimised

Optimised laning of product before enrobing can reduce wastage by as much as 25% by spacing product effectively and reducing product passing under the enrober too closely together and fusing. Similarly, an efficient infeed for a robot pick & place application can be the critical process required to ensure your robots meet their required throughputs but always having a consistent delivery of pickable products.

Gentle

Podmores vibratory Laning Feeders offer an incredibly gentle solution to your products. Since 1930 we’ve handled almost every product imaginable, including products as gentle as chocolate curls/shavings and without damaging hard candy shells. This experience and our testing/demonstration facilities allow us to prove to you that our solutions are the best option for our orientation and sorting needs.

Fill and forget

Our expertise with Storage & Infeed Systems allows us to deliver a solution no matter how much product you want to hold and how little you want to have to top the system up. Podmores can help you deploy storage solutions that keep your operatives free for other tasks around your factory.
