1 . Descriptions:
Bowl feeders are mechanical devices used in manufacturing and automation processes to feed and orient parts or components for further assembly or processing. They deliver increased efficiency through their speed, accuracy, and reliability.
Our experience shows that bowl feeders are typically twice as efficient as manual component feeding. With mechanized processes, bowl feeders achieve a consistency that operators can't match. Even the most diligent operator can make mistakes, miss components that don't meet specifications, or tire over a long shift and slow down.
The efficiency achieved with a bowl feeder largely depends on the quality of the components being fed. Introducing components with the wrong tolerance can cause jams and negatively impact efficiency. As long as the correct shape, size, and weight of components are loaded, a bowl feeder will consistently sort and orientate them for as long as needed.
A vibratory feeder bowl consists of a base and a bowl attached to the base using springs or other damping mechanisms. The bowl is designed to vibrate at a specific frequency, generated by an electromagnetic coil or a motor mounted on the base. When activated, the motor or coil creates rapid vibrations that move the parts along tracks or grooves, guiding them towards the discharge point.
Vibratory feeder bowls find extensive use in various industries, including automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage. They are employed to feed and orient small parts such as screws, bolts, nuts, washers, electronic components, and food items like candy, nuts, and seeds. These devices offer numerous advantages over traditional feeding methods, such as manual feeding or conveyor belts, including higher speed, greater accuracy, and reduced labor costs.
Overall, vibratory feeder bowls are essential components in modern manufacturing and automation processes. They improve efficiency, reduce errors, and increase productivity.

3 . Vibratory Bowl Feeder Material:
When it comes to feeders, the material used for the part contact surface is of utmost importance. In the past, cast iron and cast aluminum were commonly used for bowl construction in the industry. However, over time, it was observed that these materials wore down significantly due to the metal-on-metal contact and friction involved. To address this issue, feeder builders now exclusively use 304 and 316 Stainless Steel.
Stainless steel is an excellent choice for feeding projects due to its wear strength and hardness. It is a durable material that can withstand rigorous use in the field, while still offering the flexibility for re-working and repairs. By utilizing stainless steel construction, the overall lifespan of the tooling setup and basic bowl features of a vibratory feeder is significantly improved. This is particularly beneficial for applications such as food and pharmaceutical parts feeders, where cleanliness and reliability are crucial.
In cases where the parts being handled are highly abrasive, additional measures can be taken to protect the feeder. One option is to coat the bowl feeder with polyurethane or Rhino LINE-X liner coating. The LINE-X coating, known for its strength and durability, is the same coating used by storm chasers on their vehicles to withstand the forces of a tornado. Unlike polyurethane, LINE-X coating is virtually bulletproof and has been successfully used on many truck beds across the country. Applying any coating to the feeder provides an extra layer of wear protection and assurance. Even if the parts wear through the coating, it is unlikely that they will penetrate the stainless-steel sidewalls and tracks. In such a scenario, the old coating can be burned out, the feeder can be sandblasted, and a new coating can be applied.
Ensuring the longevity and reliability of feeders is a top priority for feeder manufacturers. By using materials like stainless steel and incorporating additional protective coatings when necessary, feeders can withstand constant use and perform well in the field over an extended period.
