What is a Centrifugal Feeder? A centrifugal feeder consists of a conical central rotor (disc) situated within a circular, stationary, or independently rotating bowl wall. Operation: Parts are loaded into the center of the bowl. An electric-driven motor spins the rotor at high speeds (often 50 to over 1000 RPM). Mechanism: This rotation generates centrifugal force, which propels the parts … Read More
What do Vibratory Conveyors do?
Vibratory Conveyors: The Foundation of Consistent Material Flow Vibratory conveyors are robust material-handling equipment essential for transporting bulk products, parts, and materials across a wide range of industries. They function by using controlled vibratory force to gently move fine to coarse-grained bulk materials, ensuring a consistent and uninterrupted flow into subsequent manufacturing processes. CDS Lipe is an expert manufacturer, designing … Read More
