What are Pre-Feeders?
What are Pre-Feeders? Pre-feeders are material handling devices designed to store and transfer bulk components to a feeder bowl (either vibratory or centrifugal) as needed. Their primary function is to maintain a constant, low-level supply of parts in the main feeder bowl, preventing it from running empty. This continuous operation eliminates the need for frequent manual reloading, which can be … Read More
