Part Feed Hopper & Feed Bin Solutions
|
A feed hopper is used to supply parts to the feeding mechanism being used, such as a vibratory bowl or linear vibratory feeder.
Hoppers are available in two main styles, a vibrating hopper which uses a vibrating tray to evenly distribute bulk fed parts, and a hopper conveyor or conveyor hopper that utilizes a cleated conveyor to transport the parts from an often-used feed bin to the part feeding equipment being used. Loading hopper equipment allows for less operator attendance to supply parts since the parts can be bulk fed from larger capacity feed bins. Hopper equipment also maintains proper part fill levels in the part feeding and sorting equipment which improves sorting efficiency and maintains the required feed rate. |
