Centrifugal feeders are quieter in operation and offer much smoother handling of components, therefore less component damage is caused. The components are fed by the centrifugal disc and distributed onto an outer rim where they are selected and orientated into the required position. They then discharge via the feeder outlet into a gravity discharge track or take off transfer conveyor.
Centrifugal feeders can be configured to run in conjunction with Belt elevators or hopper fed, linear trough feeders for bulk supply.
