Service

We provide international feeder equipment servicing. Our team of highly qualified field technicians are trained in design, maintenance, and optimization to get your production speed up to your standards in no time.

Are your current feeder systems not operating the way you expect:

Feeders jam, stop, or slow at the same place?

Operate at inconsistent speeds throughout the day?

When switching from one part to another does it take too long?

Do you feel you could be feeding more parts by increasing your systems feed rate?

We are able to get your system fully optimized and feeding at a higher rate. Give California Vibratory Feeders a call, we may be able to help you right over the phone.

Vibratory Feeder Bowl

One of the most cost-saving automated equipment for part feeder requirements is  the use of vibratory  feeder bowls. A vibratory feeder is known in the industry as one of  the oldest and most used option for effective bowl part feeder loading and as a part sorter. Vibratory feeder bowls use an  electromagnetic drive to stimulate movement by vibration. The parts held in the  vibratory feeder bowl are moved, or vibrated, up a spiral track, which winds  around the inside and/or outside of the vibratory feeder bowl. Only parts that  have the correct alignment and/or orientation can pass through the tooling,  with rejects returning to the bowl for recirculation or to be discharged as bad  parts.

Vibratory feeder bowls are designed to work best with small, lightweight metal or plastic parts that are normally difficult to feed or sort.  Vibratory part feeders feed high-quality parts at a rather high feed rate.  A correctly used vibratory feeder could move parts at 172” per minute.

Centrifugal Feeders

Another option we offer here at California Vibratory  Feeders, Inc.  is Centrifugal Bowl  Feeders. Centrifugal  bowl feeders do the same tasks as a vibratory feeder but with more features and benefits such as the  ability to handle oil-covered parts and operating at higher feed rates. Centrifugal feeders do not use any type of vibration  or tracks to sort parts. A centrifugal bowl feeder uses an angled, spinning  disk to cast parts to the outer edge of the bowl. As the parts accumulate at  the outer edge of the centrifugal feeder bowl, they are stabilized in order to  start orientation of the parts. Specialized tooling is introduced which orients  the parts before they exit the centrifugal feeder bowl. As with vibratory feeder  bowls, parts that are misaligned return to the centrifugal feeder bowl for  recirculation or to be discharged as bad parts.

The subtle processes of centrifugal feeders allow them to be used in more areas where gentle handing of the parts is required. However, because of the high feed rate centrifugal bowl feeders offer, parts that have a tendency to tangle at high feed rates may not be able to be fed in a centrifugal bowl feeder, but may be able to be fed accurately in other equipment we can offer.
