Products Suitable for Use with Centrifugal Feeders

Centrifugal Feeders excel at handling parts that are challenging for traditional vibratory bowls due to their gentle, high-speed, and tangle-free feeding action.

1. Parts Prone to Tangling or Interlocking

This is the most classic and advantageous application for centrifugal feeders.

• Examples: All types of springs (compression, extension, torsion), O-ringler, jewelry chains, wires, small hardware chains.
• Reason: The combination of the rotating disc and stationary flappers effectively separates tangled parts, unlike vibratory bowls which can make the tangle worse.

2. Delicate Parts Prone to Damage or Scratching

The feeding process is smooth and impact-free.

• Examples: Plated parts, parts with high-gloss surfaces, plastic gears, medical devices, ceramic or glass components.
• Reason: Parts slide on the disc instead of being tossed, perfectly protecting their surface finish and structural integrity.

3. Lightweight or Flat Parts

• Examples: Washers, thin-walled caps, small plastic sheets, tablets, bottle caps.
• Reason: Centrifugal force effectively and steadily moves these lightweight parts to the rim, whereas they might not feed well or tend to stand up in a vibratory bowl.

4. Applications Requiring Very High Feeding Speed

• Examples: Any small parts requiring feed rates of thousands of parts per minute.
• Reason: Continuous rotary motion is more efficient than reciprocating vibration, enabling very high output speeds.

5. Noise-Sensitive Environments

• Examples: Medical equipment assembly lines, quiet laboratories, assembly workshops near offices.
• Reason: The operating noise of a centrifugal feeder is significantly lower than that of a vibratory bowl.

Summary of Core Criteria

Tangle-Free：Effectively separates springs, chains, and other interlocking parts.

 Part Gentleness：Smooth feeding without impact, ideal for delicate parts.

High Speed：high-speed feeding demands of thousands of parts per minute.

 Low Noise：Suitable for environments with strict noise level requirements.

In summary, a centrifugal feeder is a superior solution to a vibratory bowl when your primary challenges are “tangling, part damage, high speed, and low noise.”
