Vibratory Bowl Feeder for 2mm Spherical Capsules

Vibratory Bowl Feeder for 2mm Spherical Capsules

RNA Automation’s vibratory bowl feeding system is designed to handle 2mm spherical capsules, delivering a controlled and consistent supply at a specified rate of up to 250 components per minute.


Industry:

Pharmaceutical/Medical/Micro-handling

Product:

2mm Spherical Capsules (1 Variant)

Orientation:

Discharged in single file via two flexible feed tubes from the base of the bowl

Speed:

250 components per minute (125 components per minute / tube)

Key features:

● Ultra-small component handling (2mm spherical capsules)
● Stainless steel 304 cylindrical bowl
● Dual flexible-tube component delivery
● Back-pressure bowl tooling
● Controlled, consistent component feeding


The Challenge

The primary challenge of this application is feeding and handling extremely small, delicate components—2mm spherical capsules. Handling parts of this size requires high precision to prevent jamming, damage, or misorientation, while maintaining a consistent and reliable high-speed feed rate.

The Solution

The vibratory bowl feeding system is designed to automatically feed and transfer miniature spherical capsules into two flexible feed tubes.

Handling components just 2mm in diameter requires careful control of component movement and discharge. The bowl is specially tooled to provide back pressure and maintain a consistent supply through both outlets.

Bowl Feeder System

The system incorporates a stainless steel 304 cylindrical bowl, equipped with dedicated tooling to feed the miniature capsules towards two discharge outlets.

An SRC-N 160-2 vibratory drive unit and ESK 2000 controller provide adjustable vibration control to support consistent component feeding.

Dual Flexible Feed Tubes

Two flexible feed tubes transfer the spherical capsules from the base of the bowl into the customer’s delivery system.

Each tube is specified to handle 125 components per minute, providing a combined output of 250 components per minute.
