Vibratory Feeder Bowls and Centrifugal Feeder Systems

Fortville Feeders specializes in designing and manufacturing vibratory feeder bowl systems. Vibratory feeder bowls are the best way to sort and position parts for automated assembly when you need high feed rates or parts need to be positioned in a way that is difficult due to their challenging geometries. We don’t shy away from these challenging applications. In fact, we stake our reputation on meeting them for our customers.

Vibratory Feeder Bowls

We provide Standard Features in all our feeder bowl systems for easy maintenance and moving, including:

Features and Options

Standard Sizes: Diameters of 6, 8,10, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 36, 42 inches
Bowls can be designed for your application: inside tooled, outside tooled, down feeders, cascade bowls.
Multiple lines are optional.
Materials: Stainless Steel construction. 316L stainless steel tooling is standard. 304L also available upon request.
Finishes and coatings: Brushed polishing is standard. Other finishes are available upon request. Spray, plasma, urethane, or diamond belt coatings are optional and can be used to aid in improved feeding, sound dampening or delicate handling of parts.
All bowls are designed on 3D CAD. This ensures tighter fits, repeatable patterns, quick redesigns, and less waste.
Double-wide first turn is standard for better return pan feeding and complete part evacuation.
Return pan feed systems reduce load height.
Cross arm-less drives are standard for 21 in bowls and larger.
All bowls are tab mounted.

Centrifugal Parts Feeding Systems

Centrifugal feeder systems are used to reduce noise associated with parts feeding systems. They deliver parts at high speeds and are best when feeding a single line.

Features and Options

Standard Sizes: Diameters of 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 inches
Best application for high speed, single-line feeding of geometrically simple parts.
Materials: Stainless Steel construction. 316L stainless steel tooling is standard. 304L also available upon request.
Extremely quiet. Reduces noise typical of feeder systems.
