Vibrating bowl feeders can benefit from using various coatings in the industry. These coatings have various uses and perks such as durability and part-friendly surfacing. One of our most popular coatings is the Surlyn thermoplastic powder coating.

The best way to describe surlyn is to visualize the coating of a golf ball. That is exactly what they use and it’s the only way to hold up against heavy blows from continued use. Standard polyurethane holds up well but sometimes it doesn’t fit certain applications such as food grade systems and abrasive part contact. The surlyn offers outstanding corrosion protection with a high impact strength and good weathering capability. It has been used for over two decades and meets the FDA standards for direct food contact. A vibratory parts feeder coated in surlyn can also withstand temperatures from 200 degrees Fahrenheit all the way down to cryogenic temperatures.

We have implemented this coating on many medical and food safe systems. To this date we have never had to re-coat any surlyn bowls in the field. The wear resistance and tensile strength is phenomenal. That is why many of customers elect to choose this coating for the main part contact surfacing.

This is just one of our many coatings and options you can chose to add to a system. Offering this optional coating allows us to work with many industries and also ensures we meet the standards on critical vibrating parts feeding applications.
