Dead spots usually appear suddenly, however they can develop gradually. They are always caused by some imbalance in the springing assuming that the feeder once worked satisfactorily. The presence of tooling added after factory tuning can cause dead spots and is usually noticed immediately upon operation after the addition.

Trouble Shooting Vibratory Feeders Part 1 - Declining Feed Rate
Posted on June 7th, 2023 at 11:34 AM
There are many causes for the feed rate to decline over time. A common impulse reaction to a feeder not operating at or close to capacity is to turn the controller up. A repetitive pattern of this behavior leads to a controller turned up all the way and performance is no longer being increased. This kind of problem is best solved with a complete disassembly and retuning of the unit.
