PSI ENGINEERING CASE STUDY

LC In-Feeder Case Study

A Large Catalogue Order company approached PSI about automating their material handling line.

They often had several different size catalogs and other promotional literature that needed to be fed manually into moving boxes on a conveyor line. They were able to manually insert 1000 pieces per hour.

During peak business periods, this manual process created a bottleneck that was impacting their operations overall productivity.

The Solution

PSI installed several Large Capacity Friction Feeders into a Catalogue Order customer’s existing conveyor line.

The Results

• Achieved a Return on Investment in less than 2 years.
• Increased productivity from 1,000 pieces per hour manually to 2,000 pieces per hour with the PSI LC In-Feeders.
• Error rate has decreased substantially since using the PSI LC IN-Feeders.
