The SP series Straw Feeder and Placer is designed for feeding and placing pre-pouched straws into the packaging of oral drink products. It is an excellent companion to the automatic base tray insertion machine, blister packaging machine, and cartoning machine for vials and oral drink bottles packaging. SP3 handles pouches in a continuous longitudinal chain pattern, normally with multiple straws in a pouch. SP3 cuts and dispenses the pouches one by one. SP5 handles pouches of single straw in a continuous side by side pattern. SP5 cuts and dispenses a slab of a pre-set number of pouches at a time.
