A vibrating feeder or vibratory feeder is an industrial machine used to feed material to a process or machine. Vibratory feeders use both vibration and gravity to move material. They are mainly used to transport a large number of smaller objects.
Gravity determines the direction of movement; either downwards, or down and towards one side. Vibration is used to move the material.[1] A beltweigher is typically used to measure the material flow rate. A weigh feeder can measure and regulate the flow rate by varying the belt conveyor speed. Vibratory bowl feeders[clarification needed] are also used for automatic feeding of small to large and differently shaped industrial parts.
Industrial applications
[edit]Vibratory feeders are used for automating high-speed production lines and assembly systems in various industrial sectors, including:
- Pharmaceutical
- Automotive
- Electronic
- Food processing
- Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG)
- Packaging
- Metal working
- Glass
- Foundry
- Steel
- Construction
- Recycling
- Pulp and paper
- Plastics
- Uphill (also known as salmon tables)[clarification needed]
