Centrifugal Feeding Systems
Depending on the type of part and required rate, a centrifugal feeder may fit your needs best. With its angled, double disk design. parts can be discharged at very high rates. The outside disk runs faster than the inside disk so this process creates the centrifugal force that essentially “whips” the part to the outside edge/discharge. Once the part proceeds to that position it is then oriented correctly. There is no vibration involved so sound levels would be lower compared to vibratory feeders. Some examples of parts that would be fed in a centrifugal would be caps, lids, bottles, nuts, spacers, round parts, packaged products, and other parts that don’t have the “monkeys in a barrel” effect. A centrifugal system usually includes a discharge conveyor and an elevator/bulk floor feeder. Please contact us if you think this would fit your application best and we would be glad to help.
Centrifugal materials are composed of Vacuum Formed ABS and Teflon Coated Anodized Aluminum.
