Vibratory Tray/Feeder Bowl for Lid Hopper Systems

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Vibratory Tray/Feeder Bowl

Definition

The vibratory tray/feeder bowl is a critical component of the Lid Hopper system that receives bulk lids and uses controlled vibration to orient them correctly and feed them in a single-file, properly aligned manner into the downstream hopper or conveyor mechanism. It ensures consistent lid presentation for automated handling. The bowl is typically constructed from stainless steel (AISI 304/316) or aluminum alloy, with a base material of carbon steel (Q235) featuring an anti-rust coating. Key parameters include a bowl diameter ranging from 300 to 1200 mm, a feed rate of 10 to 100 pieces per minute, a vibration frequency of 50 to 100 Hz, and an amplitude of 0.5 to 3.0 mm. The unit operates on a single-phase 220 V AC supply (±10%, 50/60 Hz) with power consumption between 50 and 500 W. It is designed for an operating temperature range of 0 to 40 °C and relative humidity up to 85% (non-condensing). The ingress protection rating is IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529, suitable for dusty or wet environments. The bowl material is typically SUS304 per ASTM A240, and the base material is Q235 per GB/T 700. The weight ranges from 50 to 300 kg, and the footprint (length × width) is 600×600 to 1500×1500 mm. These values are reference ranges and must be confirmed for the specific model and application. The vibratory tray/feeder bowl is used in automated assembly and packaging lines where consistent part orientation is essential. It is a component, not a standalone machine, and its performance depends on proper integration with the hopper system and correct adjustment of vibration parameters. For procurement, verify model-specific specifications and compliance with relevant standards directly with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

An electromagnetic or piezoelectric drive generates controlled vibrations in the bowl. These vibrations, combined with the specific spiral track geometry and tooling (orienting devices, wiper blades), cause lids to climb the track. Incorrectly oriented lids fall back into the bowl, while correctly oriented lids are conveyed forward into the exit chute to the hopper. The vibration frequency and amplitude are adjustable to optimize part orientation and feed rate. Higher amplitude increases feed rate but may cause part damage, so careful tuning is required. The bowl's track design and tooling are customized for the specific lid geometry to ensure reliable orientation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical bowl diameter range for this vibratory feeder bowl?

The bowl diameter ranges from 300 to 1200 mm, depending on the model and application. This determines the maximum part size and feed rate. Confirm the exact diameter for your specific model with the manufacturer.

Can the vibration frequency be adjusted?

Yes, the vibration frequency is adjustable between 50 and 100 Hz. Adjusting the frequency helps optimize part orientation and feed rate. The optimal setting depends on the lid geometry and bowl size.

What materials are used for the bowl and base?

The bowl is typically made of stainless steel (AISI 304/316) or aluminum alloy, with a common specification of SUS304 per ASTM A240. The base is carbon steel Q235 per GB/T 700 with an anti-rust coating. Verify material grades for your specific application.

What is the ingress protection rating?

The ingress protection rating is IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529. IP54 is suitable for dusty environments, while IP65 offers protection against water jets. Choose the appropriate rating based on your operating environment.
