Vibratory Feeder Bowl for Two Sizes of Caps
Tight on space, this customer needed a solution to orient two sizes of bulk plastic caps-at their required count rate-while staying within their existing floor plan.
The solution? A custom-designed 21" vibratory feeder bowl system with changeover capabilities.
This system feeds both part sizes at 30 parts per minute (PPM) in a vertical hanging orientation, keyed on the open slot to ensure smooth transitions to the next stage of assembly. With minimal changeover needed and a bulk storage hopper, the setup lets them hit production targets while maximizing their floor space.

I Love it!
me gustaría saber si puede ser utilizado este equipo para embutidos salami, tengo un ´potencial cliente
Hola, Estaremos encantados de discutir su solicitud. ¿Podría enviar su información de contacto a info@hoosierfeedercompany.com? ¡Gracias!
Nice feeder. Congratulations!
Thank you!
What specific ROTARY item is this and can it be Operated using a USBA POWERBANK?
Pretty cool! Thankful to be a part of the Hoosier Feeder team now! Looking forward to the future with this company! -Ross
Pretty cool seeing how many different positions you have to eliminate, but the throughput seems rather low? Is that unreasonable?
Hi @robbymrodrigez, thanks! The geometry of this part is a bit more complex, which creates more opportunities for acceptance or rejection at the tooling points. In this case, the customer was focused on orientation and requested a rate of just 5 PPM (parts per minute), allowing us to run at a slower speed with fewer rejection points. We can adjust output rates for different products by modifying things like bowl size, tooling, speed, and more.
How does it sort upside down caps?
Great question! The system uses mechanical and pneumatic tooling to reject upside-down caps. Additionally, there is a sensor to detect orientation as a back-up.
Hi, really a good looking solution for the screws. I have a similer situation in my procution with some metal brackets. My challenge is to get them into the vibration feeder. Do you have some inspiraitions for this as well?
hi @mariopahlke9752. Thank you! And yes, we can design a pre-feeder to feed the product into the vibratory system. We have a few options depending on rate, space, etc. Please send us your contact information via our website and we will reach out to discuss. www.hoosierfeedercompany.com/contact-us
very good! TOP
Looks great! Fantastic work, as always.👍 🏆
Thank you!
Nice
Is this manufactured in Indiana?
Yes, all Hoosier Feeder products are manufactured in Knightstown, IN.
Hi @kuolettavaVids - Yes, we are located in Knightstown, Indiana
always with good solutions
how feeder eject wrong position metal pin?
Hi @Kashyaphun4503, We're using air jets to reject incorrectly oriented pins back into the bowl. Thank you!
Another high quality feeder from HFC! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
👍
Very nice! Hoosier Feeder Company once again delivers a first class product. Nobody does it better. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! We appreciate it.
I have a question, related to the geometry of the system: how can a (round) disk rotate within a cylinder without causing gaps or collisions between the outer ring and the round plate? If a cylinder and a plane intersect in any angle different from 90°, the result is an ellipse.. So how can the inner plate be round and the outer ring be round but they don't have air gaps between them?! Would be interesting to learn.
Great question. In short, the system is designed to include a gap between the round disk and the rotating bowl. Both components are machined with precise contours to ensure a consistent gap is maintained as the disk rotates.
@@HoosierFeederCompany Thank you very much for your answer!
The outer ring's inner face appears to be spherical, so the disc's incline does not cause a (geometrical) gap.
Is this the step before counting and packaging? Also this is a VERTICAL discharge.
Hi @bariumCobaltNitrog3n - Thanks for watching our video! There are a few possibilities after the screws leave the inline feeder: they can be discharged, counted, and weighed before packaging, or they can be passed to another piece of equipment for the next phase of automation, such as a screw gun. And yep, the discharge of the screws is Vertical. The inline feeder that is carrying the screws is a referred to a Horizontal/Linear/or Inline Vibratory Feeder. More details on the Inline Feeder are available on our website. www.hoosierfeedercompany.com/Vibratory-Inline
@@HoosierFeederCompany You have to love a machine that does something really well. I didn't think of the screw gun clips/magazines. Learn something new every day!
All that effort to just let them fall at the end?
Hi @tomasrosalesr - Good question. We provide the vibratory feeder bowl and supporting equipment (Hopper, Inline Track, etc.). Once this system is installed in the customer's facility it will be integrated into other equipment that will take the screws from the discharge to the next phase of automation. Thank you!
@@HoosierFeederCompany Thank you for taking the time to write an answer. I know it was a stupid question but the ending of the video was kind of disappointing for a regular Joe like me. Have a nice day!
@@tomasrosalesr Absolutely. And yes, we agree, seeing the full system in action is much more exciting.
How does it handle say 600 rpms?
Hi Gregory! The rate for this system was based on the customer requirements, but we can feed screws at 600 parts per minute as well. We would use a larger size feeder to accommodate the higher rate. Thank you and please reach out if you need anything! Hoosier Feeder
What was the trickiest part of the design?
Great question! To achieve 500 parts per minute (ppm) in such a small footprint, the feeder needs to be incredibly efficient. The prefeeder needs to be consistent, delivering the right amount of product to the feeder, preventing jams and maximizing output. Additionally, we're continuously looking for opportunities for improvement. One enhancement we've made over the last few years is in the hand-off between the prefeeder and centrifugal feeder. We've reduced the size of the feeder to save space and maximize manufacturing efficiency.
too slow
Hi Cyclone Smart Equipment. Thank you for watching our video! The rate is dictated by the customer and their automation needs downstream from the feeder bowl. We can go much faster, up to 3,000 parts per minute (and much slower) depending on the application. If you have any applications you'd like to discuss, please reach out! Thank you.
Very nice! Great work as always from Hoosier Feeder Company and Hoosier Conveyor Company: two of the best in the business!
Thank you Brian! We appreciate it!
Great video.

Price?
At the time(2009) this machine cost around $30,000 to $35,000
is it possible to arrange felxible objects in this way?the parts i use are not the same size but have the same shape
A lot would depend on the shape and characteristics of the object. Feel free to send me a photo or part print to info@hoosierfeedercompany.com and we will be able to provide more in depth feedback

hi Hoosier Feeder friend, You can try SDVC34MR from CUH. This controller has a feedback sensor, which can track frequency and voltage of your bowl feeder, it keeps you always a constant feeding speed, no matter your mains power voltage is fluctuating, or the weight of your feeding parts in the bowl is changing frequently. Find us via skype:cora817 or wr@cuhnj.com
Very impressive! Were special precautions or design considerations needed to ensure that the threading on the bolts aren't damaged in the feeding process?
