Steep Incline Conveyor, access areas

Elscint recently supplied two sets of vibratory bowl feeders with belt conveyors for feeding of small metal parts from dia 8 mm to dia 14 mm in a single bowl. One side was hex while the other was round. The orientation required was hex side forward. A Cast Aluminium bowl was used with the tooling in stainless steel. The bowl was coated with Elscinthane PU coating to ensure smooth feeding and reduction in noise level as the metal to metal contact between the metallic bowl and the metallic components was eliminated. Ahead of the bowl feeder, a “V” shaped conveyor of 800 mm in length with variable drive was provided. The V shaped conveyor used a single motor for driving both the belts with suitable special spur gear arrangement. The vibratory bowl feeder was mounted on aluminium extruded stand and the complete assembly was mounted on a single base plate. A variable drive was provided for the belt conveyor. As against a required speed or feed rate of 60 parts per minute, Elscint achieved a speed of 180 parts per minute. A sensor was placed on the belt conveyor to ensure that the bowl feeder got switched off once the conveyor was full. The advantage of the “V” shaped conveyor was that there was no need for any side and top adjustment even if larger and smaller parts were used. A small changeover was provided in the bowl for the smaller and bigger parts. However, no changeover was required for the belt conveyors. As the customer was based in the USA, the requirement was for the input supply to be 440 V / 60 Hz / 3 phase for the motor and 110 V / 60 Hz for the single phase vibrator. Accordingly, a 440 V / 60 Hz special motors were used. Further to test the equipment in India before dispatch, Elscint used suitable transformers and frequency converters. The equipment was supplied by airfreight to the USA. You can watch two videos of this equipment for smaller and bigger parts.
