Bowl Feeder

A bowl feeder is a vibratory instrument for supplying predominantly small parts and components to a production line for automation, or for sorting bulk items for rapid use. Vibratory bowl feeders are a robust and reliable solution for handling and sorting bulk materials and orienting them correctly for assembly purposes.

A self-contained bowl feeder system has a bowl that sits on a spring-loaded base that moves vertically. Small parts and components move up the bowl tooling via vibration. Bowl feeders can be a fairly flexible form of parts feeding to handle very small parts such as a pill or components that can be as large as six cubic inches (15 cm^3).

Although bowl feeders take up very little space, they are capable of arranging, selecting, feeding, and sorting parts in a very cost effective way. The effectiveness of a bowl feeder is measured by its output rate, part orientation, and the space it fills on the production floor. Bowl feeders can have an output rate as high as 1600 parts per minute.

Hoppers in Bowl Feeders:

The hopper is the storage area for parts prior to being sent to the feeder bowl. It eliminates overloading or insufficient quantities in the feeder bowl and can be monitored by a level control switch. Hoppers operate automatically using a signal from the level control switch. The use of hoppers eliminates any chance of an oversupply or deficiency of parts in the bowl.
