Metal Particle Vibratory Bowl Feeder Nut Cap Electromagnetic Vibrating Bowl Feeder

1 . Descriptions:

Vibratory bowl feeders are widely used in industrial production environments and are recognized as the most versatile and commonly used parts-feeding systems for assembly line production. These self-contained mechanical devices have been in operation since the mid-20th century, valued for their resilience and efficiency.

The primary function of vibratory bowl feeders is to utilize vibration to align and feed small parts in production lines. This vibration is generated using electromagnets. The device converts the electromagnetically produced vibrations into mechanical vibrations, which are then captured and transferred to the conveying track located within the bowl. This track moves the components along, facilitating their entry into the production line.

A magnetic coil is positioned beneath the bowl, which is mounted on springs to restrict vertical movement. The coil is magnetized by an external power source, creating an electromagnetic actuation that generates vibrations. The movement of the bowl is constrained by the springs. Typically, 1 to 6 electromagnets are placed underneath the feeder base. Once the electromagnetic vibrations are converted into mechanical vibrations, the components and parts within the bowl feeder are propelled onto the bowl's conveying tracks, ready for further production.

3 . How They Work:

Vibratory bowl feeders serve a wide range of industrial sectors and are commonly utilized in industries that require flexible feeding systems for high-volume production of parts or pieces. These sectors encompass the pharmaceutical industry, consumer electronics, electrical parts, plastics, cosmetics, food, fashion, automotive, and more.

One notable application of vibratory bowl feeders is in vial and tube capping machines. These automated systems are specifically designed to handle small polypropylene screw-on caps for microcentrifuge tubes and vials. The caps and vials are fed from vibratory bowls at a rate of approximately 80 parts per minute. Furthermore, the system can be easily adapted to handle similar products.

Another significant application for bowl feeders is in pill bottling systems. Vibratory bowl feeders are employed to dispense large batches of pills or capsules for counting and bottling purposes. A considerable quantity of pills is deposited into the top of the vibratory feeder. The vibration within the feeder ensures that the pills consistently move toward the exit and enter the bottle one by one, avoiding congestion.

Vibratory bowl feeders offer industries a cost-effective automated production system that significantly enhances efficiency while reducing production costs. They provide a reliable and efficient solution for parts feeding, making them an invaluable asset in various manufacturing processes.
