Insert feeders: Pineberry Manufacturing Inc.
has introduced its “Targeted Insert Solution.”
New to the company’s line of products, this
unit features multiple Pineberry SF friction
feeders and is designed to streamline the process of inserting marketing material into totes
and cartons of different sizes. This system is
applicable to both B2B and B2C e-commerce
companies as it’s engineered to increase efficiency and decrease labor costs and packing
errors, the company says.
The friction feeders are placed along an
automated conveyor line that, when triggered by a signal, carries each container to
the necessary feeder(s) to receive the desired
marketing collateral.
The solution has the ability to integrate multiple Pineberry SF friction feeders. Available in
widths of up to 20 inches, the friction feeders
can handle flat media materials ranging from
0.003 inches to 1 inch in thickness. (Pineberry

Long-haul trailer tire: Cooper Tire has
introduced a new long-haul trailer (LHT) tire,
which completes the company’s signature
Cooper Pro Series product lineup with fitments at each tractor/trailer wheel position.
The Cooper Pro Series LHT is available in size
295/75R22.5, with additional sizes scheduled
to become available in the near future.
Like the Cooper Pro Series LHS steer tire, the
new trailer tire features Cooper’s ECO (energy
conservation optimization) technology. This
combines tire design, compounding, and construction to provide an ultra-low-rolling-re-sistance tire that both exceeds SmartWay
standard requirements by 15% and meets
the EPA’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
requirements set for 2021.
To provide a long service life, the tire
features 12/32nds of tread depth and was
designed with a V-shaped tread pattern, with
ribs evenly spaced for better load distribution.
The design helps prevent irregular wear, while
the tire’s four-belt steel casing construction
helps ensure a long-lasting trailer tire that
will provide multiple retreads to drive down
costs.
In order to streamline tire maintenance,
the tire features Cooper’s Wear Square on its
shoulder ribs. The square shows tread depth
through five different evolving patterns and
will also indicate when the tire should be
pulled for retreading. Since Wear Squares are
placed on both sides of the tire, they can also
indicate when irregular wear is taking place,
the company says. (Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.,
