This system was designed for a consumer products manufacturer to feed two types of washers: A wavy spring washer and a fiber washer. Vibratory bowl feeders were used to orient both parts, and the feed systems were mounted on a common table to save space and cost.
Medical Packaging Belt Conveyor System
This conveyor belt system was designed for a medical device manufacturer who needed to package a medical product into boxes. This conveyor had a low-friction belt to allow the loaded boxes to be pushed across the belt perpendicular to the conveyor’s direction of travel.
Elevator Belt Conveyor System with Storage Hopper for Food Packaging
This system was designed for a food manufacturer who needed to move a whole-grain snack product to a packaging operation, which required the product to be delivered 10′ off the floor. The manufacturer needed bulk product storage at floor level and a way to remove as much small and broken pieces of product as possible before moving into the packaging operation.
Vibratory Feeder for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications
This vibratory bowl feeder system was designed to orient and feed 7 different types of plastic bottles into a pharmaceutical filling and packaging system. The bowl was built with FDA-grade 316 stainless steel. To ensure that all bowl surfaces were smooth, pit-free and resistant to dust collection.
Vibratory Feeder Bowl Reliably Feeds O-Rings
Feeding o-rings in vibratory bowl systems has been historically problematic due to buildup of static electricity causing the parts to stick together and stick to the bowl surface. We solved this problem by integrating an ionizer into a vibratory parts feeding system.
Hybrid Vibratory Feeder – Conveyor System for Gentle Parts Handling
A component of a sensor for a consumer product was made of a plastic material that was susceptible to damage from vibration. The assembly operation also required that the parts be kept as clean as possible. We designed a custom parts feeding system that combined a vibratory feeder bowl and straight line track with belt conveyors to provide an effective solution to these unique design challenges.
Ultra-Compact Vibratory Bowl Feeder Orients Small Rubber Parts
This vibratory bowl feeder was designed to feed an automotive part. With a low feed rate and tight space requirements, we designed a parts feeding system that allowed our customer to pick the part up directly from the bowl.
Vibratory Feeder Bowl System with Center Discharge
This vibratory parts feeding system was designed to feed two sizes of a part used in air conditioner desiccant systems. The simple cylindrical shape of the parts allowed the use of a “cascade” type bowl feeder, where all part orientation is performed within the inside diameter of the bowl. This eliminated tooling construction on the outside of the bowl, which along with the right-angle discharge into the vibratory track, resulted in a compact vibratory feed system that met our customer’s space requirements.
Vibratory Feeder Bowl Feeds Parts with Two Orientations
The assembly operation required two parts being placed simultaneously with the bushing flanges facing away from each other, as shown here. This would normally require two part feeding systems: One feeding the part with the flange up, and another feeding the part with the flange down. We saved our customer the expense and space consumption of a second feed system by designing a single vibratory parts feeder bowl that discharged two lines of parts with one line on top of the other.
High-Precision, FDA Approved Cleated Timing Belt Conveyor System
This custom conveyor system was designed to transfer blister packs of medical products between machinery assembling the blister packs and machinery packaging the packs into cartons. Packs were loaded onto the conveyor at the entrance end and shuttled sideways into a packaging machine at the discharge end. The high-precision requirements of this application necessitated the use of a custom timing belt conveyor.
