Key benefits
Podmores step feeders allow you to easily and gently orientate and raise products over short to medium heights. Step feeders work by raising ‘steps’ which create an upwards waterfall effect. There is very little damage to product being handled as the product typically only moves a few millimeters at a time. Because of their gentle nature, step feeders are particularly suited to military applications and generally to industries with delicate products or gentle handling requirements.

- Creates accurately sorted products for your next process.
- Constant feed rate that doesn't adjust over time.
- Compact design fits into existing production lines or new lines easily.
