Straight Shooter R-14 High-Speed Continuous Feeder

The Straight Shooter R-14 is a high-speed continuous friction feeder for mailing, printing, and packaging lines. It builds on the proven SS-12 and C-12 models and adds wider media capacity, exclusive rear belt guide positioners, and more setup flexibility. At speeds up to 40,000 pieces per hour, the R-14 keeps feeding consistent and jam-free even with variable media thicknesses. Buckle Separation™ Technology removes the traditional nip points, so media moves through without interruption. That makes the R-14 a strong fit for high-volume production environments.
