Pin Vibratory Bowl Feeder Hopper Capsule Screws Customized Vibrating Bowl Feeder

1 . Descriptions:

Vibratory bowl feeders are widely used in industrial production environments and are considered the most versatile and commonly used parts-feeding systems for assembly line production. These self-contained mechanical devices have a long history and have been in use since the mid-20th century, known for their resilience and efficiency.

The main principle of vibratory bowl feeders is the use of vibration to align and feed small parts in production lines. This vibration is generated by electromagnets. The device converts electromagnetically produced vibrations into mechanical vibrations, which are then harnessed and transferred to the conveying track of the bowl feeder. The conveying track moves the components along, guiding them into the production line.

Beneath the spring-mounted bowl, a magnetic coil is positioned. This coil is magnetized by an external power source, creating an electromagnetic actuation that generates vibrations. The mounting on the springs limits the vertical movement of the bowl's actuation. Typically, 1 to 6 electromagnets are placed under the feeder base. Once the electromagnetic vibrations are converted into mechanical vibrations, the components and parts in the bowl feeder are propelled onto the conveying tracks of the bowl, ready for production.

3 . How They Work:

Vibratory bowl feeders serve various industrial sectors, with common applications in industries that require flexible feeding systems for high-volume production of parts or pieces. These sectors encompass the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the processing of consumer electronic components, electrical parts, plastic parts and components, cosmetics, food, fashion, and automotive, among others.

A notable example of a vibratory bowl feeder application 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 supplied from vibratory bowls at a rate of approximately 80 parts per minute. The system can be easily adapted to handle similar products.

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

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