Smart Infeed Systems

Kraken Smart Infeed Systems manage the orderly transfer of products from upstream equipment into secondary packaging lines. As part of a broader flow management and routing approach, these infeed systems help maintain smooth, consistent product spacing and alignment for cartoners, case packers, and other packaging machinery. Using precision controls and flexible infeed conveyors, Kraken helps manufacturers improve product presentation and support more reliable downstream machine performance.

Optimize Product Flow and Maximize Line Efficiency

Poorly spaced or misaligned products cause jams, slowdowns, and downtime. Smart Infeed Systems eliminate these issues, maintaining continuous throughput and improving overall line productivity.

We help manufacturers:

  • Control product flow from high-speed upstream equipment
  • Maintain consistent spacing and orientation for downstream machines
  • Reduce product damage and manual intervention
  • Integrate seamlessly with accumulators, gappers, and inspection systems

The Kraken Approach to Integration

Kraken does more than supply equipment—we coordinate the entire solution so your line operates as one seamless system. We integrate new and existing machines, design transfer and conveyor elements, align product handling, and synchronize controls from upstream to downstream. The goal isn’t just installation—it’s reliable, high-performance operation.
