Overhead / Gravity Hoppers
The Overhead Hopper is ADI’s most independent hopper. It operates withou the need for a direct source of vibration and electrical power. This independence combined with an extremely flexible mounting system yields a gravity hopper suited to perform exceptionally well in a wide variety of vibratory feeding applications.
Ideal for applications where
Overhead / Gravity Hopper Operation
Generally, the distance of the rubber sleeve from the vibratory feeder bowl controls the flow rate; the more distance between the rubber sleeve and the feeder bowl, the higher the feed rate. However, the gravity hopper's feed rate can be influenced by utilizing either back pressure from parts in the bowl to constrict part feed rate or the vibratory feeder’s vibration to accelerate the release rate. Please consult an ADI engineer for information regarding the optimal size hopper for your vibratory feeding application
