What Is The Difference Between bowl feeder and aluminum bowl feeder?

2025-05-02

We have been asked this question a lot recently. Indeed, for friends who make automation equipment, choosing the material of Vibratory Bowl Feeder is really critical. Let's talk about it.


Vibratory Bowl Feeder is actually an automatic feeding equipment that can send out disordered parts in order, which is particularly suitable for automated production lines. Its "bowl" is like a rotating disc, and the parts enter from the middle and are sent out along the spiral track on the edge. The performance of this "bowl" is different depending on the material. Ordinary Vibratory Bowl Feeder mostly uses stainless steel or engineering plastics, which is suitable for general plastic parts, small hardware, etc. Aluminum bowl feeder, as the name suggests, its "bowl" is made of aluminum alloy, which has many advantages.


The most prominent feature of Aluminum bowl feeder is that it is light and stable. Aluminum bowl feeder has high vibration efficiency, low noise, and is not easy to deform when running at high speed, which is more suitable for customers who have requirements for speed and precision. Moreover, the machinability of aluminum is very strong, and the track of Aluminum bowl feeder can be engraved more finely and complexly, which is suitable for processing special-shaped parts or products with special positioning requirements. Another point is that Aluminum bowl feeder looks good, and the texture of the whole machine is more high-end. Many high-end customers specify Aluminum bowl feeder.


So do all Vibratory Bowl Feeders need aluminum bowls? No. If your parts are heavy, irregular, easy to collide, or if they are cost-sensitive projects, ordinary Vibratory Bowl Feeder may be more suitable. We generally recommend that customers send samples first, and we will give the most appropriate suggestions after testing. Sometimes we even recommend adding a layer of anti-wear coating or special buffer structure to avoid scratches or jams.
