Join us February 26th – March 1, 2024 for the Tampa Bay Packaging Open House, Golf Tournament, and Reception. Please stop by Performance Feeders to tour our facility, meet our team, and check out the latest innovations in packaging technology.
Performance Feeders Supports Workforce Training Program
Performance Feeders donated a Vari-Flex Feeder, a programmable state-of-the-art system that uses a recirculating turntable to present parts for vision and robotic selection, to St. Petersburg College’s (EMBA) department, a provider of skilled workforce training. PMMI generously matched our donation!
PFS3 Step Feeder
The PFS3 Step Feeder is a “triple-step” step feeder and the largest in the Performance Feeders step feeder line.
Centrifugal System for Medical Plunger and Barrel
Most barrel and plunger feed systems are relatively simple to tool as the products typically have features that allow the product to hang in gauge rollers quickly and easily. The one caveat to using this type of system is that, even though the tooling is simple, the units are required to be tilted at an angle of 10 or more degrees, to allow the product to move forward at a rapid pace. Limitations in the ceiling height required a creative solution that reduced the overall height without affecting performance.
Container Unscrambler for Medical Packaging
Our customer presented us a bottle with a geometric shape that presented several challenges during the feeding process. The tacky plastic material slowed the feed rate substantially and created high friction, which lowered the loading ratio. We designed acentrifugal solution that provided a 100% load ratio, resulting in higher feed rates at lower RPMs and allowing for a smaller system footprint which saved manufacturing floor space.
Medical Parts Container Unscrambler
Designed to fill 100% of the pockets around the circumference of the feed system allowing for 100% orientation, without recirculation.
Medical Parts Vibratory Feed System
This vibratory feeder was designed to feed a plastic medical component into a machine assembling a medical testing product
Full System Screw Feeder with Rotary Inspection
Laser inspection with 100% accuracy.
Medical Parts Vibratory Feed System with Optical Inspection
This vibratory feeder was designed to feed a plastic medical component into a machine assembling a medical testing product. While these parts were easy to pre-orient, the final orientation could not be obtained reliably mechanically so a vision system was used to verify proper orientation and reject product that did not meet the orientation criteria.
