The Drake model CS-1800 is our most popular and versatile collator style high speed frankfurter loader. The CS-1800 sorts and aligns franks (hot dogs) and places them into a packaging machine in a quick and hygienic way.

The CS-1800 comes with a standard Drake mechanical loading head.

This unit can handle skinless or skin-on, cooked and chilled frankfurters from 12 to 32mm diameters* and from 3” length (76mm) to 12” length (300mm). The model CS-1800 can load up to 1,800 pieces per minute of a 5” long (127mm) product with a 98% fill rate.

All Drake frankfurter loaders feature touch screen controls that allow for easy addition of new recipes and rapid adjustment to various areas of the loader.

The Drake collator style loader offers a unique first-in/first-out handling method minimizing recirculation of product.

This unit’s intermediate conveyor inspection flights are made of rugged stainless steel, as is most of the machine, making this the toughest loader on the market.

Wave or Slimline Options available.

*May require collator flight inserts, subject to final specification analysis.)
