Electromagnetic Feeders for Small Parts & Fasteners

Common types of industrial feeders include vibratory feeders, belt feeders, screw feeders, and apron feeders. In hardware and parts packaging, vibratory and electromagnetic feeders are predominantly used because their controlled oscillatory motion allows delicate, interlocking, or small components to move forward consistently without mechanical entanglement or product damage.

A vibrating feeder is a material handling unit that utilizes mechanical or electromagnetic vibration to convey bulk parts or materials along a tray or trough. These feeders provide a steady, regulated feed rate and are commonly used to transfer fasteners and hardware parts into weigh-count filling systems.

A vibro feeder operates by generating controlled oscillating vibrations via an electromagnetic or mechanical drive. These vibrations throw the parts slightly upward and forward in rapid succession, moving small components smoothly along an open trough or track toward automated sorting, weighing, or container filling stations.

Pricing for vibration feeders varies depending on the feeder configuration, material requirements, integration with weigh-count fillers, and bulk loading options. Pricing is available upon request by contacting our technical sales team by phone or email for a custom equipment quote.

Industrial vibratory feeders typically include linear vibratory feeders, vibratory bowl feeders, and hopper-driven vibrating trays. Linear vibration units with open designs are particularly suited for feeding difficult-to-orient, interlocking fasteners into automated weigh and count bagging or boxing equipment.

Vibration feeders handle interlocking hardware through an open-design trough that applies gentle, consistent motion to disentangle and align components. This controlled movement prevents jamming, ensuring a continuous and uniform flow of fasteners into automated weigh-count packaging machinery.
