FIFO Buffer

FIFO Buffer ICB: buffering and feeding system for food applications

The packaging lines component based on accumulation of “gondola” carriers

The FIFO Buffer is a feed system intended for buffering incoming rows of products; it’s based on a loop of “gondola” shelves that are loaded with one row for each shelf.

Once it is filled with products, the “gondola” follows the loop and is accumulated along the buffer frame length, in this way guaranteeing the required buffer capacity.

The FIFO Buffer can be equipped with up to four exits to direct the products to the relevant packaging equipment.
