Rotary Feeders

When the requirement arises for very high speed orientation and feeding of parts, then the only alternative is to go for a Rotary or Centrifugal Feeder.
These can help achieve speeds of upto 50 meters per minute.
Secondly, there being no vibrations and only mechanical items, rotary feeders are more acceptable to a lot of customers who are afraid of the reliability of vibratory bowl feeders in the long run (however, using a vibratory bowl feeder from a reliable supplier like HA can reduce this inhibition).

A comparison chart mentioning the advantages & disadvantages of Rotary or Centrifugal Feeders vis a vis Vibratory Bowl Feeders are given below

	Vibratory bowl feeder	Rotary / Centrifugal Feeder
Maximum speed	12 to 15 meters / minute	50 meters / minute
Usage of Air Jets	Maybe required for high speed / critical orientation	Mostly required for easy flow & orientation
Variety of parts which can be oriented & fed	Almost all parts	Only certain parts can be fed & oriented (eg. bottle caps, cylindrical rollers, needle rollers, flat and cylindrical drippers, bearing races, bearing rings etc)
Electrical supply	1 Phase	3 Phase
Possibility of damage to parts	Negligible	Sometimes possible for brittle parts
Loading quantity	High (depending upon model)	Less (Stock feeder / Hopper Elevator always required.
Variety of components	Possible with changeover tooling	Possible with changeover tooling
Food Grade Quality	Available	Available
Maintenance	Negligible	Negligible
