Customized Centrifugal Bowl Feeder Parts Feeder Feeding System​

1 . Descriptions:

A centrifugal feeder is a highly efficient and speedy feeding unit designed to handle components of various shapes without causing damage. It consists of a conical central rotor driven by a motor and surrounded by a circular bowl wall. By utilizing rotary force, the feeder spins and separates component parts, causing them to revolve rapidly and move towards the outer edge of the bowl.

Centrifugal feeders are particularly suitable for high-rate applications and are gentle on component parts due to their low circulation.

Our company specializes in providing customized centrifugal feeder systems that cover the entire production line, including handling, transportation through downstream conveyor belt systems, and packing operations. Our packing capabilities encompass capping, labeling, cartoning, and flow wrapping of components and products.

The centrifugal feeder incorporates a center disc mounted at an angle and a horizontally mounted feeding bowl. Both components can rotate independently at variable speeds, enabling the feeder to handle up to 3,000 parts per minute. Typically, the components are brought to the raised edge of the centrifugal feeder disc.

Centrifugal feeders find applications across various industries, including pharmaceutical and healthcare, food, plastics, and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG).

We highly recommend our centrifugal feeder system solutions to businesses operating in the manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical, and medical sectors, especially those that require high-speed handling of small and irregularly shaped components.

3 . How Does A Centrifugal Feeder System Work :

Centrifugal feeder systems are highly efficient solutions for achieving optimal productivity in manufacturing processes. They are widely preferred in industries such as labelling automation, high-speed packaging, printing, and inspection, where complex applications and high-speed operations are common. These systems eliminate the need for manual handling, resulting in reduced downtime and improved efficiency.

The process begins with the introduction of parts in bulk from a hopper or elevator, with the flow of materials controlled by a photocell in the case of an elevator. Maintaining the correct level of parts in the centrifugal feeder is crucial to ensure proper travel and separation. Overfeeding or underfeeding can have negative effects on the system's performance. However, centrifugal feeders excel at efficiently orienting and sorting even intricate parts.

Inside the feeder, the parts are directed to a rotating center disc located at the center. The feeder comprises a center disc mounted at an angle and a horizontally mounted rotating bowl that can rotate independently at variable speeds.

The rotation of the components generates centrifugal force, pushing the parts towards the raised edge of the feeder disc. The edge of the disc is slightly elevated compared to the running surface of the bowl, allowing the parts to load onto it.

The centrifugal force further propels the parts past mechanical and pneumatic tooling, which aligns the parts in a common orientation. Any parts that are not properly oriented are rejected by other tooling features in the system.

The parts continue to flow through the system until they reach their final assembly or packaging destination.

Businesses favor centrifugal feeder systems because they handle parts gently, minimizing scuffs or surface imperfections caused by contact. These systems offer higher feed rates, operate quietly compared to vibratory feeders, and require minimal maintenance and upkeep.
