What is a Vibratory Bowl Feeder？

Vibratory Bowl Feeders

Vibratory bowl feeders are devices used for automatic feeding and directional conveying of materials and are commonly used in industrial automation. Their working principle is to use vibration to make the material rise along a spiral track, and then use a guide chute or pipe to transport it directionally to a specified position.

Vibratory bowl feeders are typically composed of the following parts:

• Hopper: Used to hold the material to be fed.
• Baseplate: Supports the hopper and vibrator.
• Vibrator: A device that generates vibration force, typically an electromagnetic or pneumatic vibrator.
• Guide chute or pipe: Used to guide the material for directional conveying.
• Controller: Used to control the operation of the vibratory feeder.

Vibratory bowl feeders have the following characteristics:

1. Adjustable feed rate.
2. Adjustable feed direction.
3. Sorts materials directionally.
4. Works with other automated equipment.

Vibratory feeders are widely used in various industries such as electronics, machinery, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals, and are indispensable auxiliary equipment in industrial automation production lines.
