While it is extremely unlikely that a vibratory or centrifugal feeder ends up in a household, chances are, a feeder has played a much larger role in the production of goods you find in your house every day. From consumable products, to tools and automobiles, the products made in large quantities for the masses must be manufactured in way that is financially reasonable, and Hoosier Feeder Company feeders help our customers do just that.
Vibratory feeders are inherently noisy machines. Electromagnetic coils pull and release metal blocks beneath the bowl, usually between 60-120 times per second, to drive part movement causing the parts to vibrate not only against the bowl itself but against adjacent parts. Depending on the material and shape of the parts, the noise level of a feeder system can quickly become damaging to unprotected ears, especially when there is more than one feeder in the area. Fortunately for you, there is an assortment of options to help reduce the overall noise level of your vibratory feeding system.
This past year marked 10 incredible years at Hoosier Feeder Company. To celebrate we got to together on Lake Monroe in October and enjoyed food, drink, and good company.
As new projects roll in, we are confronted with a variety of challenges that vary as much as the different parts we are challenged to feed. Many times we are tasked to design and build feeding systems for new productions and assembly lines.
Hoosier Feeder Company understands the value of production time and the detriment down-time can cause. That is why before your feeding system leaves our facility, we ask ourselves, “How can we make our system’s integration as seamless as possible?”.
One of the many efforts led by this organization is the Work Ethic Scholarship Program that, in 2017, hand selected 259 hard-working students in the entire United State to receive scholarships to help them learn more about the trades they are pursuing. We were proud to hear this foundation had selected our own Samuel Tollett.
Since moving into our new facility in late 2016, Hoosier Feeder Company has been growing to embrace the additional space and the capabilities it affords. An exciting project we are working towards is incorporating a Showroom and Training Center into our administrative building.
Process automation strives to make your process continuous, reducing breaks in production and downtime for maintenance. We discuss seven reasons why you should automate your product line.
Hoosier Feeder Company understands what makes an excellent feeding system and has the experience to guide you through your purchase. We offer our insight to ask the right questions and give you accurate answers so that you can feel confident in the feeding system we deliver to you.
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is quickly becoming a staple in all kinds of industries, and we found the parts feeding sector to be no different. What we do here at Hoosier Feeder Company revolves around an individual part, which by itself gives us information on how we need to design a feeding system, how we approach quoting a job, and whether a vibratory or centrifugal feeder is a feasible option.
