2types of vibrating feeder

Vibrating feeders convey parts or bulk material through various stages of finishing, packaging and recycling by means of vibration. Unlike pneumatic conveying, screw conveying and standard belt conveying, vibratory conveying offers solutions for moving delicate or sticky food materials without causing liquefying or damage due to shearing or rough handling.

Vibrating feeding, also known as vibratory conveying, offers low-maintenance parts and material handling, as vibratory conveyors and bowls use no moving parts except the vibrating drive installed beneath the bowl or feeder pan, away from contaminating materials. There are two main types of vibrating feeders: vibratory bowl feeders and vibratory conveyors. Vibratory bowl feeders, also known as vibratory bowls or centrifugal feeders, are a type of parts feeder used in parts manufacturing to align finished or semifinished parts for final processing or packaging. Vibratory conveyors encompass a wider range of troughs, vibrating screens and trommel screens which convey and/or sort bulk materials during processing. Rotary feeders, also known as rotary airlocks or rotary valves, occupy a third category by providing air-tight bulk material feeding into screw conveyors or vibratory conveyors. Linear feeders, also referred to as inline feeders, are typically used to convey parts in a consistent flow from bowl feeders over short to relatively long distances in a vibratory linear motion.
