Vibratory bowl feeders are used to feed individual components/parts for assembly in industrial production lines. They are employed when a randomly sorted bulk package of small components needs to be oriented and separated before being fed into another machine. These feeders come in many shapes and sizes and can be used in the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, electronics, and packaging industries.
Electrostatic charges on components/parts arise not only from friction and separation between the parts themselves, but also from friction between the parts and the vibrating container or linear conveyor. Electrostatic charges can cause significant problems, as parts may stick together, adhere to the container, or even block the sorting elements. Additionally, the dust attraction caused by the electrostatically charged components or parts can lead to quality issues and scrap.
The solution? Place one Performax IQ Easy 24V static eliminator Above the vibrating container, which neutralizes static charge and prevents sticking together. Optionally, air assistance may be required: blowing ionized air between charged parts helps with separation and prevents clumping.
A similar technology is used in the pharmaceutical industry to position tablets correctly for transport to filling, packaging, or inspection lines.
By neutralizing with a Performax IQ Easy 24V static eliminator The tablets are separated, ensuring optimal process control and achieving more efficient production.
Since vibratory bowl feeders are available in many shapes and sizes and handle a wide variety of components/parts, it is recommended Simco-Ion a tailor-made antistatic solution. Ionization nozzles They are also very suitable for separating electrostatically charged parts – just ask us what is best suited for your application!
The correct placement of antistatic devices is crucial, as vibratory bowl feeders often contain moving parts and metal components that can hinder the proper neutralization of electrostatic charges. Our experts will gladly assess your specific situation and propose a solution to prevent production downtime!
