FF & BN SERIES KD
Case Feed Systems
The FF & BN series are automatic KD case and tray feed systems that are easily integrated with SWF's fully automatic case openers/sealers (both new and existing). These systems easily allow stacks or bundles of KD cases to be delivered by fork truck, clamp truck or other mechanized vehicle, thus eliminating manual loading.

System Operation
The FF Series is designed for feeding bundles of KD cases to any case opener/sealer (including non-SWF equipment) without conventional case magazines and to automatic case openers/sealers utilizing a vertical KD case magazine. The FF models have an infeed conveyor on which stacks or bundles of KD cases are placed. The bundles then have the strapping and dunnage removed prior to being conveyed into the elevator section. The elevator lifts the stacks of KD cases so that one case at a time can be picked off and transferred to the case opener/sealer's case opening station or vertical KD case magazine.

The BN Series is designed for use on any automatic case opener/sealer that utilizes horizontal KD case magazines. Bundles of KD cases are placed on the infeed section of the bundle loader with the cases laying flat. The bundles are then powered into the rotator section and rotated 90 degrees for proper feed orientation into the horizontal case magazine. Once the bundles of KD cases are contained by the magazine follower plates, the operator can then remove the bundle strapping and bottom dunnage.
