Vibratory feeders are self-contained systems each consisting
of a bowl feeder that orients the parts and a vibrating drive unit, upon
which the bowl feeder is mounted. The drive unit, equipped with a variable-amplitude
controller, vibrates the bowl feeder, forcing the parts to move up a
circular, inclined track. The track is designed to sort and orient the
parts in consistent, repeatable positions, according to certain requirements.
The bed length, width and depth of the vibratory feeder can be adjusted,
and special bed liners can be installed if the material to be handled
is abrasive. Dust-proof outlet covers can be attached to the inlet and
discharge to reduce dusty material residue or a completely enclosed tube
feeder can be specified. Vibratory feeder manufacturers can use stainless
steel to meet sanitary requirements in food processing.
Vibratory feeder manufacturers equip their products with a variety of
controls depending on type. Pneumatic feeder controls include a quick-acting
valve, an air line filter, a pressure regulator gauge, a lubricator and
a long air hose. A transformer-type device, available for electromagnetic
vibratory feeders, adjusts the intensity of vibration by varying the
applied voltage. Electromechanical feeders have a wall-mounted control
box with an on/off button or switch and overload protection. Special
controls for remote operation include two speed, maximum-to-minimum material
flow controls for batch weighing and panel board controls for multiple
feeder installation. An accelerometer can be attached to the drive unit
to monitor the amplitude and to apply a correction to the feeder, which
tends to vibrate more quickly as the material level drops.
Vibratory feeder manufacturers serve the pharmaceutical, automotive,
chemical and mining industries. Other industries utilizing vibratory
feeders include steel, glass, foundry, concrete, recycling, bakery, railroad
unloading and plastics. Chemical plants typically use vibratory feeders
to control the flow of ingredients to the mixing tanks. Foundries use
vibratory feeders to add binders and carbons to sand reprocessing systems.
The pulp and paper industry uses vibratory feeders for chemical additive
feeding in the bleaching process, while the metal working industry uses
vibratory feeders for feeding metal parts to heat treating furnaces.
Vibratory feeders are also used by water and sewage treatment plants
in chemical additive handling. Other materials that are separated by
vibratory feeders include powder, plastic pellets, dry chemicals, coal,
metals, ore, minerals, aluminum, mining and aggregates, grains, seed,
dry detergents, ceramics, textiles, rubber, fibers, wood chips, salt,
sugar and many, many more.
Parts feeders provide a cost-effective alternative to manual labor, saving
manufacturers valuable time and labor costs. One operator can oversee
a number of automated machines, as opposed to one worker hand loading
one machine. Hand selecting and inspecting is also time consuming and
labor intensive. The tediousness of the process can subject the workers
to repetitive motion injuries. Using vibratory feeders typically results
in a better product as well. When selecting a parts feeder, several factors
must be taken into account, including the industry, application, material
properties and product volume.

Adjustable rate vibratory
feeders, also called “variable
rate vibrating feeders,” are feeder systems that allow the flow
of parts to be changed during operation.
Bowl feeders consist of a feeder bowl with a spiral track inside
of the bowl. As the drive unit produces vibrations, the bowl vibrates,
moving the parts up the track.
Centrifugal feeders, also referred to as “rotary
feeders,” utilize
rotary force to separate materials. The parts are placed within a bowl,
and as it revolves rapidly, the parts are pulled to the outside of
the bowl.
Electromagnetic vibrating
systems consist of equipment driven through
electromagnetic force. Electromagnetic vibrating systems are common
in the steel industry.
Electromechanical vibrating
equipment uses a motor
along with an eccentric crank or eccentric weights to develop the driving
force.
Fixed rate vibratory
feeders are feeder systems that maintain a constant
flow of parts at a specified rate. The feeding rate remains unchanged
during operation, but may be altered when the feeding system
is not running.
Flexible feeders consist of a series of conveyors and robots that
work together to feed hard-to-align parts.
Natural frequency conveyorsor
feeders are machines whose operating frequency is close to or
at the natural frequency of the
connecting spring system.
Parts feeders are machines that distribute parts to robots.
Pneumatic feeders are driven by a linear piston located in the drive
unit. Because no electricity is used, pneumatic feeders
are advantageous in applications where the potential for explosion
exists.
Straight line feeders, consisting of linear trays,
orient smaller parts quantities than bowl feeders, decreasing the noise
level.
Vibratory bowls are a kind of feeder bowl with a spiral track inside.
Common Terms Related to Vibratory Feeders
Approach - The location in the parts feeder bowl
at which the parts begin to ascend the bowl feeder track.
Backpressure - The exertion of force when parts emerge from the
vibratory feeder.
Cascade Bowl - A bowl feeder that consists of basic tooling on its inside
track. Cascade bowls are advantageous when orienting larger, standard
parts.
Depth of Bed - Also known as "material depth (mat.
depth)" it
is the thickness of the layer of material that is being carried on the
conveyor or vibratory feeder surface.
Discharge End - The vibratory feeder exit where the parts emerge from the
vibratory feeder system.
Drive Unit - Also referred to as the
"drive base unit" it
is the device that provides power to the vibratory feeder system.
Explosion Proof - Equipment that meets the standards of operation
in a specific hazardous environment as set by recognized organizations
such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Feed End - The feeder entrance through which the parts enter the
vibratory feeder system.
Grizzly - A hard wearing screen used in the sizing of bulk material.
Hanger - Also called "suspension assembly" or
"bail assembly" it is a support device for vibratory feeders.
Head Load - A term referring to the weight of the material supported
by the vibratory feeder, which is located in the trough and hopper/bin.
Hopper - Large, bulk container that stores material and regulates
parts flow into the vibratory feeder system.
Isolation - Also referred to as a "vibration
absorber" it
is a device that separates the vibration between the machine and the
structure. Examples of isolations include coil springs and rubber.
Load Sensitivity - The difference in performance as the
vibratory feeder
empties.
Orientation - The act of setting or arranging in a determinate
position from random positions. Vibratory feeders usually have three types of orientation:
simple, moderately complex and complex.
Outside Track Bowl - A bowl feeder
that consists of complex tooling for parts, which have intricate part
configurations.
Rotation - The direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise,
in which the drive base unit shifts the bowl feeder and parts.
Singulation - The separation of a mass of parts into individual
parts.
Sound Enclosure - A foam-lined structure that absorbs the noise
created by the vibratory feeder.
Spring - Device that generates vibration or isolates vibration
between the machine and the structure.
Trough - Also called a "pan" it is the tray on which
the material is loaded into the vibratory feeder system.
