Prodaid Engineers, the 40 years
old vibratory bowl feeder manufacturer from Bangalore recently completed an
order for a SPM manufacturer for supplying a vibratory bowl feeder for feeding
of Engine Valves. Usually, most manufacturers require the engine valves with
the head up on a rail. However, in this case, the requirement was to get the
same in rolling orientation where the head was away from the bowl centre.
Hence, Prodaid used its Model PA-55 for this purpose. The engine valves were
first oriented with head up and then twisted in the bowl itself to make them
come out of the bowl in rolling orientation. A speed of 30 parts per minute was
provided as against the required speed of 12 parts per minute.
