Rotary Vacuum Placers
Rotary vacuum placers, also called rotary placers, onserters, or inserters, are flexible, continuous-motion machines designed for picking a variety of stackable items at high speed with placement onto or into another product on a conveyor or flight system.
They can work independently or be integrated with existing packaging lines to feed, denest, or erect product.
The rotary vacuum placer handles a variety of products such as cartons, paper carriers, CR80 cards, premiums, pizza sheets, and nested products such as bowls or tubs, lids, irregularly shaped products, pouches, and more.
