1 . Descriptions:

Vibratory bowl feeders are widely used industrial machinery found in industrial production environments. They are renowned 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, known for their resilience and efficiency.

As their name suggests, vibratory bowl feeders utilize vibration to align and feed small parts in production lines. The vibrations are generated through the use of electromagnets. The unit converts electromagnetically produced vibrations into mechanical vibrations, which are then harnessed and transferred to the conveying track of the bowl. This track moves the components along, feeding them into the production line.

Beneath the spring-mounted bowl, a magnetic coil is fixed. This coil is magnetized by an external power source, creating an electromagnetic actuation that generates vibrations. The bowl's actuation is constrained to limit vertical movement due to its mounting on the springs. 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 bowl conveying tracks for production.

3 . How They Work:

Vibratory bowl feeders serve a wide range of industrial sectors, with their most common applications found in industries that require flexible feeding systems for high-volume production of parts or pieces. These industries include pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, electrical parts, plastics, cosmetics, food, fashion, and automotive.

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. The system can also be easily modified to accommodate similar products.

Another application for bowl feeders is in pill bottling systems. Large batches of pills or capsules can be deposited into the vibratory bowl feeder for counting and bottling purposes. The pills are dumped into the top of the vibratory feeder, and the vibration within the feeder ensures that the pills continue to move toward the exit, entering the bottle one by one without causing congestion.

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