March 17, 2023
In a recent vibratory feeder project, surrounding equipment presented height limitations that prevented the use of a standard hopper. To accommodate the space constraints we designed a custom solution with an integrated hopper and conveyor prefeed elevator system. The result?

The continuous movement causes the parts to vibrate against the bowl and other parts.
