Air Feeds / Air Feeders 
Air feeds provide a cost effective solution for coil feeding & processing. Air feeds are suitable for a wide variety of applications, including wire feeding, dual strip applications, tube feeding, push-pull, and zig-zag.
 
Our air feed inventory includes the most reliable names in coil processing and press feeding: Coe Press Equipment and Rapid Air.

Coe Air Feeds / Air Feeders

coe air feeds

Coe Press air feeds feature heavy duty construction to meet any coil processing need. Air feed cylinders are available in ranges of 2-6" diameter air feed cylinders, and utilize a double-feed head for gripping and feeding coil stock.

Standard Features

  • Optional "Air Saver" cylinders
  • Hand crank stroke adjustment
  • Heavy duty guide bars
  • High strength aluminum gripper assembly
  • Press interface controls

Optional Features

  • Pull-through straighteners
  • Power threading rolls
  • Remote jog control
  • Stroke length indicators Heavy-duty bases

Rapid Air - Air Feeds / Air Feeders

air feeds

Rapid Air's exclusive patented dual air valve system provides accurate clamping/feeding sequences to eliminating marring, buckling and distortion.

The dual valve system uses one valve to actuate the feed and stock clamp, while the other actuates the slide block. Simultaneous valve operation ensures material is always clamped before slide block movement.

Coil stock such as plus paper, plastic, wire, fabrics, foil, tubing, extruded and preformed shapes can be fed at short and long progressions, and at different production speeds.

  • Feed flat stock up to 16” (406mm) wide, .150” (3.81mm) thick, and in lengths up to 20” (508mm).
  • Pulling capacities of up to 250 pounds (114kg) are available on heavy duty models.
  • Smallest feed is capable of 260 cycles per minute at a 2” (50.8mm) progression and can cycle much faster at shorter progressions.
