HFC Releases Heavy Duty Feeder

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.  After years of observation, we began to notice a whole family of parts that seemed appropriate for automated feeding systems but would not work properly in traditional vibratory or centrifugal feeders.  It is for reasons like these that Hoosier is very excited to introduce our Heavy Duty Centrifugal Feeder.

 

Our Heavy Duty Feeder platform is based closely on a standard centrifugal feeder system with a few key variations. 

 

One excellent advantage of the HFC Heavy Duty Centrifugal Feeder is it’s ability to handle heavy parts.  Where most centrifugal feeders use ABS disks with no structural support, our HD feeder relies on stainless steel and 6 roller supports near the outer edges of the disc to ensure heavy metal and dense parts smoothly travel through the system.  Additionally, the HD feeder can easily be tooled to feed multiple parts of the same family, and can even be outfitted to change tooling automatically.  When centrifugal and vibratory feeder systems can’t perform under the weight of your application, we turn our eyes toward Hoosier’s new Heavy Duty Feeder.
