From feed to finish

Bowl feeders, also referred to as circular vibratory or vibratory bowl feeders, are a traditional method of handling and sorting bulk products before manoeuvring them onto further processing machinery on manufacturing lines. TAD manufacturers an extensive range of vibrating and electromagnetic feeding bowls, including bespoke bowl feeding systems that are custom-made for clients in niche industries, or manufacturers with specific challenges.

TAD feeding systems are industry specific and are designed to meet the different requirements of different manufacturing sectors. The manufacturer’s custom vibratory feeding bowls can cover any type of implementation, including high difficulty selections, positioning of geometrically complex parts, gentle handling and high frequency rates.  

For example, TAD feeding systems for food and beverage or pharmaceutical manufacturing are designed to comply with all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. Every bowl feeder in the range is made of AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel with mirror polished, electro-polished or projected polyurethane finishes, ensuring high levels of hygiene.  

TAD’s introduction of vibratory bowls to the UK market is supported by the company’s UK sales representative, TM Robotics. The feeders expand the company's range of peripheral manufacturing equipment, which also includes soldering technology, machines and systems, as well as small manufacturing conveyors.  

Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics and sales representative for TAD Bowl Feeder in the UK, says: “TAD implements a series of procedures for every customer — providing technical texts and proactive advice about the equipment in question – as well as global technical support and a predictive, preventative and corrective maintenance service.”
