Key benefits
High speed parts feeders form a critical process in many production lines. The ability to accurately deliver large quantities of product is vital to meet modern industrial automation requirements.
Product is loaded into the ServoPOD either manually or automatically into the bulk hopper. The product is then conveyed up and onto a series of individually controlled conveyor stages or zones where sensors are used to detect product and pull/push it until the product is singulated and the correct orientation. The ordered stream of product leaving the machine goes through a double check where its height and orientation are confirmed.
Optionally, a vision system can be used to look for the front/bottom of the pack and confirm its orientation. This is useful when feeding robot picker belts as the ServoPod can ensure only ‘logo up’ product is allowed to continue onto the robot picker belt and wrong way up product is instantly returned to the ServoPOD’s storage hopper.

- Interchangeable rollers for product selection.
- Siemens based control pack.
- Vary speeds easily and simply using the touchscreen HMI.
- Quiet operation.
- Available in under 20 weeks typically.
- Quick return on investment (ROI).

Designed for a wide range of products
Designed to be flexible for a wide range of primary packed products. Capable of handling products up to 200mm in length.
Accurate
In addition to interchangeable rollers which only allow products the correct orientation/size to remain on the conveyors, the ServoPOD features a width and height check point with reject back in to the buffer storage conveyor. this is easily adjustable for different products.
Counting & batching
An individual ServoPOD can be used to count product at high speed for counting applications, and can be combined with multiple units in synchronisation to create custom pack formats with multi-flavour/multi-pack combinations.
Easy to integrate
- 230V 50Hz 16A (3.68kW power supply).
- 4 full swivel castors to help you move it into position.
- Rigid sub-frame allows forklifting onto mezzanines with 2T forklift truck.
