CF-18 & CF-30HD Continuous Feeders

Accurate, High-Speed Product Feeding for Automated Taping Systems

The CF-18 and CF-30HD Continuous Feeders provide economical, accurate feeding of paper products into Straub Design taping and conveying systems or customer-supplied equipment.

Designed for continuous top-loading operation, these feeders help maintain consistent product presentation at higher speeds while reducing manual handling. With two feeder options available, you can choose the model that best fits your specifications. The CF-18 and CF-30HD accommodate different product sizes to support a wide range of applications.

Overview

Product Feeding For Automated Systems Made Easy

Both the CF-18 and CF-30HD are engineered to deliver on accuracy of product placement, making them ideal for feeding into downstream taping systems such as the T-646 series.

Their simple, robust design supports quick changeover between product sizes while maintaining consistent feed performance—helping production teams increase throughput without sacrificing accuracy.

One Feeder Platform — Two Size Ranges

The CF-18 and CF-30HD are designed to integrate effortlessly into automated taping environments and support:

  • Feeding a wide range of paper-based products
  • Integration with Straub Design conveying and taping systems
  • Use with customer-supplied downstream equipment
  • Continuous operation at adjustable speeds

Model selection by application size:

  • CF-18: For smaller to mid-size paper products
  • CF-30HD: For wider, heavier-duty applications

Both models are CE marked and designed for industrial production environments.

Built to Match Your Process Requirements

The CF-series feeders offer configuration flexibility to support differing product sizes and system requirements, including:

  • CF-18 Continuous Feeder
    Designed for products up to 18″ (457 mm) wide
  • CF-30HD Continuous Feeder
    Heavy-duty configuration for products up to 30″ (762 mm) wide
  • Continuous top loading
    Supports increased uptime and productivity

Straub Design engineers work closely with customers to ensure proper feeder selection and seamless integration into the complete automation system.
