Centrifugal, or rotary, feeders are not typically known for their ability withstand heavy, hard, or sharp parts. Rotary style feeders generally thrive with light-weight plastic parts that would deform before causing damage to the feeder system. Of course, a part is not automatically considered suitable for a vibratory feeder just because the part will not work in a centrifugal feeder.

Hoosier Feeder Company builds feeding systems for a vast number of different processes in the manufacturing realm. One process that is not immediately associated with manufacturing is part inspection. Extremely large companies and companies that require a large number of high-precision parts, often fasteners, look to automate the inspection process itself which provides a new set of parameters for us to build to. Inspection companies look for a variety of qualities in the parts they inspect, and it is our job to prepare and present the parts precisely the way they need.

Here are some common “vocab” terms that we at Hoosier Feeder Company commonly use to discuss our centrifugal feeder systems so that you can have a deeper understanding of what we do.

How HFC Feeders Help Grow Your Company.png

Depending on the size of your current operation, adding part feeding systems can be a sizable investment into your company and as a result may require some careful consideration. Anytime you invest back into your company it’s important to understand how the investment will return and help add value to your processes, products, and company in general.

In many cases, the arrival of a feeding system to a machine-build is an important stepping stone, as many parts used in the process originate from these feeders. Additionally, the pressures of an aggressive build schedule can be exaggerated when new equipment arrives because that usually means another tier of work is now ready for attention. Despite these pressures, it is important to carefully integrate your new feeding system into your production line to avoid causing more trouble than necessary. Luckily, with some due diligence, many common issues upon receival of a feeder system can be avoided.

Hoosier Feeder Company took the time to celebrate 10 years together as the family we are, away from work and the stresses it brings. We celebrated together on Lake Monroe this October and enjoyed food, drink, and good company.

Adding members to the Hoosier Feeder team is always an exciting step. It means that we are growing as a unit and need some additional manpower and expertise to help fulfill our goals and promises to our customers.

Validating Feeder System Performance.png

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?”. That question is answered in the form of checklists and tests prior to shipment. We cannot account for unknown circumstances once the feeder leaves our facility so we make sure that our system is rock solid so your effort can be directed elsewhere.
