While it is extremely unlikely that a vibratory or centrifugal feeder ends up in a household, chances are, a feeder has played a much larger role in the production of goods you find in your house every day. From consumable products, to tools and automobiles, the products made in large quantities for the masses must be manufactured in way that is financially reasonable, and Hoosier Feeder Company feeders help our customers do just that.
Vibratory feeders are inherently noisy machines. Electromagnetic coils pull and release metal blocks beneath the bowl, usually between 60-120 times per second, to drive part movement causing the parts to vibrate not only against the bowl itself but against adjacent parts. Depending on the material and shape of the parts, the noise level of a feeder system can quickly become damaging to unprotected ears, especially when there is more than one feeder in the area. Fortunately for you, there is an assortment of options to help reduce the overall noise level of your vibratory feeding system.
