Description of the device
2.1
General
In combination with a conveyor bowl, the bowl feeder is used for storing, transporting,
separating and arranging bulk material. The material is moved by vibrations. Parts are
moved by micro throws in the feeding direction.
The mass of the bowl should not exceed the value specified in chapter 2.4 as this cannot
ensure optimum transport behaviour.
2.2
