How should the feeding system be designed for multiple products on one packaging line?
• Select bowl feeder plus flexible feeder by product family, with dedicated tracks and changeover tooling per SKU.
• Feeding cycle time must be ≥1.2x packaging capacity, with changeover under 10 minutes.
• Use quick-release hoppers and conveyors; guide plates swap without tools during product changeover.
• Install vision or fiber-optic sensors to detect mixed products and trigger automatic stop alarm.
• If size variation exceeds 30%, use two feeding branches sharing one packaging machine.
