Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder for Plastic Pen Barrels

Presently, the pen manufacturer for whom Elscint developed this bowl feeder has been feeding these plastic pen barrels manually with two workers per station. Elscint has perfected the orientation of these parts and hence can provide feeding at a very high speed of 80 pieces per minute (for the 70 mm length pen barrels) with the correct orientation and that too in a rolling position! The unique orientation concept perfected by Elscint is provided at two places to ensure that even a single wrongly oriented component does not come out of the bowl.

Additionally, a gravity chute is provided to ensure rolling of the plastic pen barrels. Elscint has used a cast aluminium bowl with its popular Elscinthane PU coating. The tooling is made in stainless steel with full argon welding which ensures there is no wear and tear. This has helped the customer reduce his manpower substantially and hence has placed an order for 20 similar bowl feeders!
