Rotary Feeder for feeding of Plastic Parts

Elscint has developed a special rotary / centrifugal feeder for feeding of plastic parts used in drip irrigation. Usually one rotary feeder is made for one type of parts. However, in case of need, changeover tooling can be provided so as to accommodate more type of parts, making it very versatile. The Elscint rotary / centrifugal feeder has a rugged design and is made in Cast Iron Casting and lined with suitable material for better rigidity.

An AC Geared Motor of Elscint Make is used. In case of customer requirement, variable speed can be offered, which helps adjust the feeding speed according to the actual requirement of the user. The advantage in case of a Rotary Feeder as against a Vibratory Parts Feeder is that Rotary Feeders work at much higher speeds and thus a better feed rate can be achieved. Other parts that can be fed through a Rotary Feeder are bottle caps, cylindrical rollers, needle rollers etc. However, critical component orientation is not possible with the help of Rotary Feeders. Hence, in case of highly critical orientation, one has to opt for a vibratory bowl feeder. A stand for mounting the rotary feeder having a height adjustment of (+/-) 100 mm (or even (+/-) 200 mm) can also be offered with the Rotary Feeder as well as extra capacity Silo or hopper. Speeds of even upto 20 metres per minute (with orientation) can be offered.
