Veneer Dryer Infeeds
Dryer Tipple Feeder
Fastest Feed Speeds in the Industry.
The SWEED Dryer Tipple Feeder offers a systematic and precise solution for feeding individual trays to the dryer. This feeder effectively receives the top sheet of wet veneer from each of the three side-by-side stacks and evenly distributes them across each individual deck of the dryer’s infeed section.
SWEED’s latest tipple feeder model boasts reinforced front and rear pinch beams, ensuring the longest operational life in the industry. The segmented pinch-wheel design by SWEED is built with two mounted bearings per section, facilitating easy removal and maintenance. Furthermore, the use of solid rubber wheels replaces the older aluminum hubs and separate wheel mounts found in most conventional tipple feeder designs, significantly enhancing maintenance efficiency.
SWEED has also made improvements to the pinch-wheel tension spring design, offering greater adjustability for various veneer thicknesses and a longer operational life.
Notably, when SWEED’s patented “Smart Pause” technology is integrated into the infeed section, it automatically pauses the tipple feeder for up to 20 seconds upon detecting an empty feed using photo-eyes. This pause allows the operator to address the veneer infeed issue promptly. Once the sensors identify all three sheets at the pinch-wheel stop-gate, the feeder automatically restarts with an increased speed, ensuring it catches up to previous feeds. “The Smart Pause” feature provides an enhanced fill rate and more consistent dry veneer, as it minimizes gaps in the feeding process, resulting in increased overall efficiency and quality.
