Another possibility is to mount the device straight on to a base plate.
Suitable Afag standard parts are available for complete station assemblies using Afag
linear feeders.

Fixing the bowl
3.3.1
Central Fixing
The bowl is secured to the mounting plate provided for it on the BF bowl feeder using a
central mounting screw. The mounting screw must be tightened using the torque speci-
fied in
Table 2 in order to generate the required frictional locking.
There are adjusting holes on the mounting plate so that the bowl can be positioned pre-
cisely on the BF drive unit. This means that there is no need to repeat the alignment of
the interface on the bowl discharge when the bowl is changed or if a bowl that has been
removed for cleaning or repair is refitted.
Feeder bowls that are mounted differently (at the edges, for example) require special
adapter plates.
To ensure perfect operation of the equipment, do not exceed the maximum mass mo-
ment of inertia and feeder bowl weights. They are dependent on the design of the feeder
bowls.
