On the production line, Vibratory Bowl Feeders and Small Conveyors are both common material handling equipment, but they are very different in terms of function and application scenarios. Understand the differences and choose the right feeding solution for your production line.
The main functions of the vibratory bowl feeder are sorting and orientation. The high-frequency vibration allows the parts to be arranged in an orderly manner on the disc surface, making it suitable for handling small parts with complex shapes that require a specified orientation. Electronic components, hardware, medical devices and other products need to be positioned during production, then the vibratory bowl feeder is very suitable. Small conveyors are more suitable for straight-line transportation of materials, which can transfer products from one station to the next station stably and continuously, and are suitable for regular items that have already been oriented.
The vibratory bowl feeder can process more parts in a given time. A vibratory bowl feeder sorts and conveys thousands of small components per minute, much faster than a normal conveyor. However, conveyors have more advantages in long-distance transportation, which can easily convey materials several meters or even farther; whether they are granules, lumps or finished items, they can be conveyed through small conveyors.
Conveyors usually require a larger area, because the conveyor occupies a larger area when transporting items far away. The disc body of the vibratory bowl feeder is small, and the entire machine occupies a small area. For workshops with limited space, this distinction may be the key to choice.
