Vibratory bowl feeders are the most reliable and cost-effective solution available on the market for feeding molded plastic parts, electrical components, glass vials, stamped formed or machined parts. It is one of the excessively employed devices for feeding a wide variety of parts in industrial assembly automation applications. Vibratory feeders serve a broad industry sectors including pharmaceutical, automotive, electronic, food, Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG), packaging, glass, foundry, construction, recycling, pulp and paper, and plastics.
How it works
A vibratory feeder mainly comprises of a parts-orienting bowl mounted on a vibrating drive unit with a variable-amplitude controller. The drive unit causes the parts-orienting bowl to vibrate, which in turn leads to the moving of parts in the bowl around a track. This continuous rhythmic and systematic vibration results in the sorting and orienting of parts in accordance with customers' requirements.
Extremely robust, reliable and flexible vibratory bowl feeders have been predominantly used by multifarious industry sectors for automating high-speed production lines and assembly systems. Vibratory feeders are suitable and effectual for feeding parts like:
Rubber - Rubber's large coefficient of friction often poses difficulty for industries to sort and orient the item. However, the special processing of the bowl and unique horizontal vibration systems make vibratory feeders ideal for feeding differently sized and shaped rubber parts.
Metallic parts - Vibratory feeders are the best-in-line device available for feeding simple nuts and bolts to specific industrial metal parts.
Plastics - With the tremendous improvements in the plastic injection molding, the size and shape of the plastic parts have become more complicated and convoluted. Vibratory bowl feeders have been intelligently designed and precision-engineered to accommodate complicated shapes.
Medical equipments - Contributions of vibratory feeders to the medical industry have been highly appreciated and accepted worldwide. The device is effective for sorting and orienting pill or tablet form, as well as medical equipment, such as syringes.
Food substances - Vibratory feeders are suitable for feeding food stuffs like candies and crackers as well as products in cartons like ice cream or dry soups.
Electronic equipment parts - Vibratory feeders can accommodate electronic equipment parts of various sizes, shapes and weights. They are useful for orienting and sorting transistors, condensers and also microchip components.
Vibratory bowl feeders are available in standard and custom designs to accomplish specific applications of customers. Since there are several types of parts feeders available, selecting the one depending on the application, material properties and product volume is paramount to achieve the intended results. There are many numbers of manufacturers available on the market who serves multifarious industry sectors with the manufacturing and selling of custom tooled, stainless steel, cast Aluminum and multipurpose vibratory feeders.
