Parts Feeding Tip: Simply Cleaning the Feeder Bowl Helps!
Posted on September 2nd, 2016 at 5:12 PM
Most parts make very little contact with the inside track and wall of a vibratory feeder bowl. One of the easiest ways to improve the drive on parts is to clean the bowl with a clean cloth at the beginning of each shift. Spraying the bowl with a foaming bathroom cleanser before wiping will help to remove oxidation and lubricants. Cleaning with mineral spirits may remove built up grease but it leaves behind an oily film.
