We take pride in the high quality centrifugal feeder systems we produce at Hoosier Feeder. Customers from a wide range of industries come to us when they have complex processes or challenging parts handling requirements to fulfill. The feed system highlighted here was created for a client in the pharmaceutical industry, and designed as a centrifugal scallop feeder to orient three (3) sizes of medicine bottles for a filling and labeling machine.
This system needed to orient three (3) different sizes of medicine bottles for a filling and labeling machine. We integrated a prefeeder, rotary (centrifugal) feeder, conveyor, and control systems to accommodate the many intricate processes involved. We engaged our CNC machining, water jet, rolling, forming, welding, and fabricating capabilities to create the feeder. A scallop-type design was chosen for this project to orient these difficult-to-handle bottles, employing Delrin scallops. Each bottle needed to be free of scuffs or scratches from processing. When completed, this feeder met all of our customer's requirements, including a volume rate of 120 parts per minute, faster than the competition. We provided this full service feeder system to our client within 12 weeks, and our customer was thoroughly satisfied with the results.
