Overview
About the E-Motion Magazine Feeding
The E-Motion Magazine Feeding is built for companies with limited production lines that pack round, square or rectangular biscuits, including multilayer products. Biscuits are loaded into the lanes of the magazine by hand or arrive from the production line. Lane guides turn each lane into a vertical stack, and a pusher transfers the set number of biscuits into the lug chain infeed for every pack: one biscuit, a small stack or a multilayer group. The flow wrapper then forms the film tube, makes the fin seal with three disc sets and closes the pack with rotary cross-seal jaws. Control is single or full servo, depending on the customer’s needs, and the machine fits easily into existing workflows. The intuitive touchscreen HMI holds the recipes for each biscuit and pack format.
Magazine or Manual Feeding: Why It Matters
Biscuits are light, brittle and often come in counted stacks, so placing them by hand on a lug chain limits both speed and count accuracy. The magazine solves this: it holds a buffer of biscuits in several lanes, keeps them in line without pressure on the edges and delivers exactly the same number into every lug pocket. Operators only refill the lanes, the wrapper runs at a steady rhythm and broken or missing biscuits are reduced. Short pauses upstream are bridged by the buffer, which keeps the pack weight and the seal quality constant.
E-Motion Magazine Feeding working principle: magazine, stacking and pushing (1 to 4), film (5, 6), rotary jaws (7), outfeed (8).
Multi-lane magazine with curved lane guides and stack chutes above the lug chain infeed.
Why Choose the E-Motion Magazine Feeding
Feeding and wrapping in one. Magazine, pusher, lug chain infeed and flow wrapper come as one machine, with one control system and one HMI.
Counted stacks. The pusher delivers single biscuits or stacks of a set count, for single portions, twin packs or multilayer packs.
Gentle on biscuits. Lane guides and stack chutes hold the biscuits upright without pressure, so hard, soft and coated biscuits arrive whole.
Single or full servo. Choose the control level for your output and format range; recipes on the touchscreen HMI shorten format changes.
Compact and hygienic. Approx. 1,300 kg, AISI 304 product-contact parts and open frame for easy cleaning.

Feeding, Discharge and Line Integration
The magazine is filled by hand for short runs, or from the oven or cooling line for continuous production. Lane width, stack height and pusher stroke are set to the biscuit size and the count per pack. Packs leave on the outfeed belt to a date coder, metal detector, checkweigher and case packer, and the machine exchanges start, stop and fault signals with the equipment before and after it. Coated biscuits are packed in a room held at 18 to 20 °C (64 to 68 °F) with cold-seal film.
