Can feed multiple lanes
Pairs well with escapements and blow feed systems
Can be manufactured from different materials to suit a range of industries

Our vibratory linear feeders provide smooth, reliable, and controlled transfer of components throughout your automation process. Designed to handle parts of virtually any shape or size, our systems can efficiently transport products over short or extended distances while maintaining consistent feed rates.

Each linear feeder is custom-designed with product-specific track tooling to optimise product flow and maintain accurate part orientation throughout the feeding process.

We also offer multi-lane feeders to match your product pitch and throughput needs, making them ideal for high-speed automated assembly and packaging systems.

Linear feeders are commonly integrated with bowl feeders to maintain component orientation during transfer, while also providing a buffer or parts to ensure a continuous product supply to the production line. This helps minimise downtime and maintain consistent machine performance.

We manufacture our linear feeders from a wide range of materials and apply specialist coatings and finishes to maximise durability, performance, and industry compliance. Linear feeders can be designed to meet a range of requirements, including:

Quickly adjustable/interchangeable tracks for multiple components
ATEX environments (pneumatically operated)
Wash-down applications
Food-grade and pharmaceutical environments
High-wear production environments

How Vibratory Linear Transfer Feeders Work

Vibratory linear transfer feeders consist of a feeding tray mounted on a vibratory drive mechanism. This drive generates precise vibrations, creating a wave-like motion that propels materials forward along the tray. The system’s adjustable settings allow operators to customise both the speed and direction of material flow, ensuring accurate feeding for downstream applications.

Advantages of Using

Increased Efficiency: Significantly reduces time and labour associated with material handling.
Precision Feeding: Enhances control over material dispensing, reducing waste and improving product quality.
Flexibility: Quick adjustments can be made to accommodate fluctuating production needs, minimising downtime.

Technical

Our vibratory linear feeders ensure seamless and reliable feeding of your products.

Each linear feeder has uniquely designed tracks to ensure consistent feeding, and tooling is developed to maintain product orientation where possible.

Multi-lane feeders are available to suit your application.

Linear feeders pair well with bowl feeders, keeping products from the bowl oriented and providing a buffer to prevent your production line from running out of product.

Linear feeders can be made from a range of materials to ensure compliance and durability within your industry. We also manufacture linear feeders that are compliant for use in ATEX environments.
